evaluation question 6

From my experiences in this film with the technology, i found that it takes more to sort out the technology than i thought it would.
For example, i never realised how shaky a handheld camera would be when it came to filming the chess scene. I assumed with a steady hand and good technique that i would be able to film with decent quality, but i was surprised how much this would effect the footage without the tripod. From then on after this part of filming, i decided to always use a tripod to film and never looked back as the footage was much more smooth and steady.
However when it came to the college scene, i encountered problems with lighting as quite a bit of my filming was by the window in my room, so for a couple of the shots i had to either alter the settings on the camera or close one of the curtains to help under expose the light so it was perfect. I also encountered problems positioning the tripod so it wasn't in the way of anything in the room, but as its a small and enclosed room it was easier said than done.
Overall these were the only two places i went about filming as these were the only scenes i needed to do, i feel the use of filming two scenes at once (hypothetically) adds more to the confusion that the viewer may notice after watching this opening sequence, but if i was to be able film the whole film, then they would understand.
