we practice glidetrack to shoot Eric weak up. This is a very interesting experience.From his leg to head. 

I can use these equipments and camera movements to shoot Ace cafe interior. Something are significant in this cafe.

About Camera lesson

Today Deborah teach us how to hand held camera. Hand held camera can catch some special shot e.g. chase shot in the street. The shot very vivid but too shaky so your body as a tripod can reduce the shake and keep stable. If the cinematographer want to follow the object, cinematographer need to bend leg and put your elbow into your side to get stability. When you remove the camera, It is looks like a little bit silly but it can make the image smooth. In addition, when you want to pan shot or tilt shot, put your feet apart that can easily to control your camera. Eyes need to open both of them, one of eye to look at the camera frame, another one to look at the outside of camera. It will help you to adjust your composition. Firstly, we discuss a storyboard that some shots are too jump. Deborah give us some advice we change our plan. Then, our group go to the grave and exercise hand held camera. I think the different thing that is you attempt to stable the shot, but location or mise-en-scene have not control it very well. Otherwise, there are two shots transition problem, we need to modify it in the next exercise.
