What are you doing here? - Analysis

What are you doing here?

For our first task we were told to go out and film different types of shots of us saying what are you doing here? For our first show we used a close shot of us walking up and asking a person what are you doing here. The close up an good shot,  but it was not great. The camera was shaking and it becomes very distracting for the person to watch and takes the concentration of the people in the shot away. Also the environment wasn't the best because it was in a very green place and it doesn't look very realistic. Another shot which we used was a medium shot which shows the top half the person. Again the camera was very shaky and it didn't look good because of the environment. We also did one over the shoulder shot where we can see the back of the persons head closest to the camera, and then in the background you can see the person speaking to the other person. 

Our strengths were that we did good camera shots, and we know how to use a range of shots. We also know what they are and ho to do them. By knowing this we could create good shots if we have a good plan and know what to film we could use a knowledge of shots to create a good film.

We have a few weaknesses with our shots, one of them is the camera shaking. When we film and the camera shaking it is really distracting because all you can see is the character going out of shot and it looks really bad. To improve the shot we either need to get a tripod to keep the camera still, this would improve our shot a lot. Another thing that we could improve is the location of the shots and the lighting, the location of the shot is in a place where there is a lot of trees and bushes, so it seems a little random people to be filmed. The lighting was very dark because it was a cloudy day, so it was bad for people to see what was going on in the shot. To improve this we need to find a place where it is more open so there is more light shown and it look better for the shot.
