Mince's top tips - Filming

Camera stance when moving:

- Hold tightly onto the camera and find the record button
- Elbows tucked in for stability
- Someone behind you holding you for support and stability
- Always practise shots before you film
- Direct the actors to save film, eg. markings on the floor, learn the song well
- Count down
- Always film more footage than you need as you can always edit and cut away film

I can practise these filming tips when doing my prelim filming and i hope to apply them fully when filming proper music video.

 After reviewing these filming tips i went out with a camera and a few of my classmates and practised different filming techniques and poses and practised directing my actors around to practise things like timing when singing and walking, zooming in and out on the camera, lighting and sound. Below are some pictures of what we did.
