Today I went to the cemetery to take a few practice shots with the camera and experiment the many ways I could film a shot.
With the camera I filmed a short scene where the scenario was someone is walking in a graveyard and hears something. This was filmed from a POV shot. The clip turned out good as I kept practicing holding the camera at eye level and keeping the balance as I was walking. This made me think about the way I create the POV shot in my film and how to make it an effective shot to impact my audience.

In another clip I filmed I started the shot with a close up of a grave then slowly zooming out
and moving the camera up at the same time to see how well I could balance the camera without using the tripod. It was a successful attempt and has given me ideas on whether I should include a shot like that in my film – particularly in the scene where the main character's headstone is revealed.

The location we filmed at was perfect in term of the atmosphere as there were very few
distractions and the audio was good with no excess noise (e.g. people talking, music playing etc,) for the clips that were filmed. The lighting at the time of day was sufficient enough to consider filming a scene at the same time with the same weather conditions for my film.
