We were very lucky to have a camera training workshop today. It's not often that I would count myself lucky to work ten to five on a Sunday but this was one such rare occassion.
The merit of this workshop was that it was run by Tony O'Shaughnessy of the BBC i.e. someone who really knows his stuff. As a result I learnt this....
1) To keep the camera still - pans, zooms and jaunty angles belong to naff wedding videos taken by drunken uncles.
2) Not to film everything - watching someone move through a shot is often more effective than running around in circles after them (unless you're a hardened Challenege Anneka fan).
3) To vary the size and angle of shots - variety is the spice of life.
4) PEOPLE DO NOT LIKE BEING FILMED.
