Camera Testing



Firstly, we tried circling around me with a handheld camera. For this, we did not use any guide to make sure that we went around in a perfect, smooth circle. We also did not use any editing software to make it look more stable. 

Next, we sat Aimee, holding the camera, on a wheely chair as Molly pulled her around me in a circle. Again, we did not edit the footage after to make it look less shaky. 

Thirdly, we created a harness system to make a steady circle by balancing the weight of the cameraperson with another person. This was slightly smoother however, as we still had to walk, the footage was still shaky. 

Finally, we used 'Warp Stabiliser' in Premiere Pro to enhance the stability of the video. We found that this created the best final product, however this was filmed with a handheld camera and so we will need to practice walking around our actor smoothly and steadily.
