We initially used my Nikon Coolpix P500, it is typically used for still shots and produces quality pictures in that aspect. When using it to film our opening we found that it was extremely affective for slow shots and still shots as we could mount it easily on the tripod. However for faster moving shots it shook too much and did not produce a clear shot, such as the point of view shot of the young girl looking up at the sky as she wakes up. Initially we had used this camera to film this shot but we found that it did not focus well when moved at that speed.
Our Second Camera
To replace some of the original shots with better focussed ones we moved on to try out using my iPhones camera. This the iPhone 5 was much more consistent at focussing and provided us with shots equal in quality if not better. We were worried that moving from one device to another would mean the shots looked different however with iMovies editing software we were able to make the shots consistent.
