Test shots, first continuity edit


This video is compiled of a series of clips I took in one continuous attempt, and then cut them up and arranged them neatly for continuity. From this quick edit, I have found that I need to make sure that the camera is mounted properly before filming so as to not capture my face, as well as paying attention to lighting. These shots were bad, though I expected this, as they are just test shots to give me an idea of what to watch out for during filming.

Another thing I noticed is that I had some shots that did not have anything to transition from, and interrupted the continuity, so I will make sure to (obviously I will be spending more time on my next shots) gather more clips and takes of sequences and scenes so that I always have usable footage, as shown by the lack of footage between the last two shots for continuity due to poor lighting inbetween.

My footage will feature a lot nicer lighting, smoother handling of the camera, as well as a good mount on the finished result, and will consist of entirely object/person perspectives; each time the protagonist interacts with an object the camera may pass to it, or another person, and be shot mainly outside at a set time for similar natural lighting, though some footage will be shot indoors, such as the beginning and end of the video. 

The intention of this clip was to show what may happen should I rush my footage without planning or carefulness.
