Diary entry 6

Today me and two of my classmates took the Sony HVR A1E camera outside in order to shoot mini clips which allowed us to gain experience using the equiptment, and become aware how to effectively capture videos in the most appropriate lighting, focus, angle and zoom. We shot different clips, including some outside amongst the trees, throwing leaves, doing cartwheels, picking flowers. These first basic practice clips which will hopefully be fun to edit next week. After using this camera, i feel a lot more confident than before as i now have an increased level of technical  understanding and i also think that i would like to use this camera to shoot my music video due to it's leightweight form and simplicity in regards to using it.
