DSLR recap

Today, we recapped the topic of how to use a DSLR correctly since we haven't used them in a while, initially I couldn't remember a lot about the DSLR, however after going through a couple of key steps and features of the camera I started to remember specific concepts of the camera, such as; white balance, Auto and Manuel focus (AF-MF) etc. Once the recap session had concluded, I then went on to choose small groups of three including myself, I decided to choose two other individuals who shared a common interest relating to the genre of music, once I located these two individuals we then decided and agreed on a song relating to the music genre of Pop, this song being 'One dance by Drake, who isn't traditionally known for being a Pop artist and more specifically Rap, however this particular song is known to be a Pop and was good as it wasn't conventional for a Pop song to have a Rapper sing, which is unusual but interesting. The next process was to decide on one or two of us to then act out in our chosen location(s) for the practice run and the other individual to film on the DSLR. The location mainly included a field as it had exceptional lighting, probably due to the time of day which was roughly 10:35AM . Once all of this was completed we then chose a range of three shots to shoot with, including a; close up, mid shot and finally long shot as we thought that they were a necessity for a functional music video . The next step was to analyse the footage that was created and identify any possible mistakes and any strengths. One key flaw, which is not so much a mistake included a lack of movement between the two individuals in front of the lens, at first glance it was the first aspect that I noticed and made the footage rather awkward.
