Working in a group for the first task set was ideal for coming up with more ideas, which we all had agreed on. It also allowed the chance to learn how to import videos into the computer correctly with the type of device being used. For example a Panasonic or Sanyo which differentiate on how to import the files on the device.
When filming, you need to get more than you actually need, so you have enough to work with if something doesn't turn out right- or the amount of film you may need to edit certain parts.
To make sure that before you jump right in and start filming, you must have a proper plan thought out, that everything has been thought through thoroughly. You also definitely need a back up plan, just in case all else fails.
Before filming, practise out the shots you intend to use, as they may not work out nor look right during the film.
You must always remember to to turn on and off your camera, to make sure that you are not videoing random shots whilst moving around. Also remember to take off the lens cap!
After filming, always check the footage before moving on. It may not look right, so you can film it again, and again until you get it the way you want it.
Light. Depending on how bright or dark it is, you may not be able to see what you are filming. You must always experiment with the type of lights in which you are planning on using, to make sure that it looks good. You don't want to open the file and find out that you cannot see what's going on. However, you can brighten it up a bit, though not always can make it clear, it can turn out pixelated. With some cameras the image quality is better outside, in the daylight.
Sound. Make sure that it is all quite before and during people speaking so that you don't get random sounds in the film.
A tripod is better off being used that doing it freehand, the tripod allows the camera to film without unnecessary movement, whereas when using freehand it will be much harder to keep the camera steady.
Framing. Before filming make sure that the frame of the camera is perfect and that there are no distractions around the main object(s).
