The camera, a Canon 550D, we had never used before, therefore had to become familiar with how to use it so we were able to film effectivley and not waste time. To start with the camera was difficult to use, however, once we had both practiced using it it seemed quite easy to get a hang of. The main buttons which we had to use which seem self-explanatory are shown below:
The turning of the focus on the front makes a huge effect on the shot and shows how much it changes the focus. For example, here is a video which shows the changes between shots in focus and out of focus.
Also there are screen shots where you can compare the difference. As you can see the first shot is blurry, in comparison with the second shot, where his hand is seen clearly. This is something we had to take into consideration when we were filming as especially when the actor is moving around the camera can slip out of focus, therefore not producing clear shots.
