I found this assignment to be very informative. I really enjoyed getting to learn all of the different types of shots and movements. I never realized how technical it really is! Now that I have completed my video I find myself trying to recognize the camera shots in TV shows and commercials.
The actual filming was interesting to say the least. In my first attempt, I used my 1 year old niece as an actor. Numerous retakes later, I decided it might be a little easier to use someone that didn't run out of shot or stick their face into the camera. Ironically that person was easily my dog. Dog treats work wonders for sitting still.
The only real problem that I ran into was uploading the video files from my camera to Windows Movie Maker. I recently bought a new digital camera at Christmas and knew it would be perfect for this because it records videos in HD with sound. For some reason, the sound did not transfer with the video. When I play it back on my camera you can hear everything. My quick fix was to add narration in Windows Movie Maker and a background music from Soundzabound.
Looking forward to the next video, I will need to investigate my camera and how to fix the sound issue before I begin. I look forward to the video because I know it will be a blast to create.
