On Saturday I helped Mike out with his fiction shoot by being cameraman.
It was a good day and we managed to film his whole project in about 5/6 hours. It was a good experience using the Canon too; although I'm not using one for my shoot it was good practise for framing and handling it.
I think I enjoyed it because I was being directed so my role was straight-forward; Mike did have a clear vision and provided a storyboard which made things easier. Setting up the shot was easier too as I have since learned about aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc after Mike lent me his Canon for a couple days so I could learn it in preparation for his shoot. I felt smarter and more comfortable in using a camera than I did last year and I believe that's due to researching these parts of the camera.
Cinematography is something I want to learn about to help me with all future projects and this shoot helped with that.
Overall it was a learning experience and got me back into a production mood ready for my own shoot in a few days time.
