Camera Practise

This year I will be using a Conon EOS 1100D which personally I think is much better than the smaller Sony cameras, for both quality and handling. 

Over the Summer holiday I practised with the camera using many different types of shots ranging from the extreme long shots to close ups. By having this practise will help me to film the shots with better quality. This in addition to my Preliminary Exercise helps me know how to use the cameras different settings. For example the focus having to turn the lens in order to regain focus. This is required throughout my music video, as I am going to use the common conventions in the camera movement. 

Here is a few shots I took in the holidays focusing on learning how to focus and how to integrate the scenery into shots...
