This week we have done kind of impressive and really useful exercises. The good usage of depth of filed and exposure helps us control the frame be more perfect. Every one get an opportunity to be a camera operator, so we are able to clear see the real individual difficulties, and got a right way to solve it.

Before this week, changing focus in shooting is not easy for me. I cannot use an efficient and scientific way to do it. However, now I deeply realize the importance of sign. The one exercise I did is to always focus on headphone when William takes it from the box. I think the headphone is smaller compare with people, so I firstly choose a close distance between the subject and the camera. Then I make few points along with William’s movement, every point I have respectively adjust the focal length. I think I successfully completed this exercise. But, changing the focus from the foreground to background still not so easy for me, I will keep trying it. I hope I can perfect use it in my final scene.

We also did the long steady shot exercise. It is a small challenge for us. We need to adjust the focal length when a person is walking closer to the camera. We need make lots of signs in their walking process. It is easy to forget the accurate signs. And the speed for the pace affects the tracking, so the protagonist may look a little bit blurred.
