3 Camera Shots - Anna, Kiera, Ellie

In this video Ellie, Anna and I were experimenting with different types of camera shots we thought we could use in our opening 2 minute video for our exam.
We experimented with a medium shot, over the shoulder shot and long shot.
The medium shot was a little bit of a struggle; we couldn't get the right spot for the camera to be for all of us to fit in so we had to make it a moving medium shot. We had to move the camera around and move the spots we were standing in quite a lot for us all to have the perfect medium shot of our shoulders above.
The over the shoulder shot was the easiest as we had the perfect place to do it and the camera was easy to put into place. We had to only slightly change the camera height and angle and make sure Anna was standing in the perfect place so that the camera was not covered slightly.
The long shot was not as easy to do because we had to stand really close to each other just to fit into the frame of the camera. Anna had the easiest job as all she had to do was walk round me and catch the ball. Ellie and I had to throw the ball to each other slowly for Anna to be able to catch it in time.
If i were to change 1 thing i would change the medium shot to a 2/3 shot. The medium shot was hard to do and we couldn't have the camera standing still, we had to have it moving just for all 3 of us to fit in the video. Where as a 2/3 shot would have been easier as we could all have been standing near each other without having to move the camera so the speech would have been clearer and easier to understand.
