Knife Throw

there are 4 clips in this video.

from this i learnt how over the shoulder shots include the audience in the action of the shot, and how quick editing between shots can make scenes look more realistic while you don't actually have to throw an object at another person.

i also learnt how to appropriately position the camera to get smooth shots of a scene.
Also i learn that the shots of a scene don't have to be edited in the order they were filmed as the second clip was the last my group filmed.

Camera Research:
first steps of the camera set up were to extend and lock the legs of the tripod in place meaning we could have a set height to film at.
when attatching the camera to the tripod the platen needed to be removed, when i put the camera on i made sure that it was securely screwed into the platen so that it wouldn't fall off or tilt when it wasn't meant to.
turning the camera on opened the lense cover to the camera my group were using.
the crank handle was needed to raise or lower the camera to the height i needed it to be. i could set it to stick at the height.
using the zoom function allowed me to get close ups on the objects without needing to move the camera.
i found it interesting to try to use the pan handle to be able to rotate the camera around to film panning shots.
then i was able to do the same through tilting but by locking the pan handle and loosening another.
to get a canted angle my group were able to use the tilt locking nut, this made the footage look disorientating to an audience
