This is my video camera that I have used to shoot the footage below. I actually am going to read the manual to enable me to get the most out of this camera. So far, without reading any instrustions, I have learnt how to shoot film and replay on the camera and upload it onto the computer, but I am sure you can do some simple editing on the camera and also I want to try use it manually rather than leaving it on auto shoot.

Above are some clips I have filmed for my music video. As it is sunday and college isn't open i had to compile the shots on a program called PowerDirectorExpress to enable me to post them as I don't have Final Cut Pro. It is a much simpler version of Final Cut which I found much easier to use as every command gave a description of what it did as there were only afew options to choose from. However, to be able to use the effects and do multiple things at once i would have to upgrade to a better version which costs money i dont have. I was useful for today though as I would have had to wait till tomorrow and made this short video at college.

The video shows various shots that I want to use in my final music video. To show someones journey I want to focus on their feet as this emphasises the fact they are walking. I also want to use a contrast of still scenery shots and up close shots where I move the camera. I have found that my camera struggles to stay in focus when I have filmed things quite close up which for most people would be one of the camera disadvantages but I like the way the images move quickly in and out of focus sometimes because of the way the unknown image is revealed to you.
