Camera Skills!

I have picked up many more camera skills during my second year on the course. I feel infinitely more confident when handling the camera's, especially when it comes to moving with the camera when filming. I feel as though that because I have improved my quality of filming has improved. 

Over the two years I have been studying media I have had the oppurtunity to use several kinds of cameras when filming. I have used a Sony HD Camcorder, which is a traditional video camera, we used this one for the entirity of our first years coursework. I found that it was easy to use, yet it lacked footage quality, meaning my work didn't look as professional as i'd hoped. Despite this I felt comfortable when using this kind of camera. As well as this I also used a few kinds of Canon DSLR camera. I used a 1100D and a 5D. These are both powerful cameras and film well, and produce a high quality video quality. I found that these camera's were much easier to use than the Sony, they enabled me to mover well with the camera and have more control over everything I filmed.
