From practising on the Canon 1d I realised that the footage you get out of them and how well they work in low light is exceptionally good. At first I was put off by using them but since playing around and testing them out, I want to push myself and use it for the majority of filming for the documentary Young and Pissed.
The main pitfall is the follow focus on big movements, which is why I shall use the Panasonic P2 for anything that will need to cope with drastic movements. I have noticed that the Canon 5d is being used more often in programmes, and since watching Bouncers Ch4 I noticed that they used this camera on some of the master interviews and actuality. In order to keep up with the trends in TV, I want to able to use this camera for the documentary.
This evening we did our first interview with Kevin from 5 degrees who had an interesting story about how due to excessive drinking has seisures now so he can't drink, this interview would have goten the best out of the story if the director hadn't used the Recce questions for this interview as he didn't explore the story and we only captured a glimpse which is a shame. Got some more interviews scheduled soon so hopefully hearing from someone who owns a bar will give another perspective and the questions will be developed to help this.
