Evaluation Of Filming (#1)

Yesterday we had our first filming session, the crew turned up on time, I had a bit of help setting up lights, I gave the actor a couple of minutes to prepare and then we started filming. My other team member took control of the camera while I was in charge of playing the song so that it is easier for the actor to lip-synch correctly. However when I showed the footage to the teacher this morning we realized that none of it could be used as the camera kept moving and zooming in and out, she told me that it must be re-done from scratch, preferably all the way through three times - close-up, medium and long shots so that later we have enough footage to choose from in editing. I will try to organise something this week but if not then it will have to all be done at ultra-speed after half-term.
