I have a background in photography and use of camera work from when i had a photography and moving image exhibition. I used my skills that i have learnt towards my main product. I expanded my knowledge on the use of the video camera by test shooting and playing with the buttons and settings of the camera. I have shot a few scenes to practive angles, zooms and focuses in order to use them for my main product.
I didn't know how to focus the background and blur whats in front of the camera with a camera recorder so with practice, i recorded a scene to and perfected my skills in this specific area. This has been helpful when recording for my main product. It developed the scene into being a more effective and powerful one. While i was practicing with the focus, i learnt how to focus the main image and blur the background within one shot. This also came in useful as it allowed my storyline to be simpler and clearer. The effect of this tool creates an eye catching, audience engaging scene.
