The first EPQ lesson was a real eye-opener. To put it bluntly; great ideas, but extremely vague. I need to focus on what part of poverty I am showing in the Philippines and somehow extract an appealing title/question from it. Harder than it seems. Nevertheless, I have received the main template of the course from which I need to complete in the next 24 hours. Though the lesson provided a brief insight on how the overall course runs which gave a scary yet exciting feeling of independence.
The skills I need are still far from average and therefore will need research e.g angles at which I need to shoot, how to capture a video that is equal in light and dark and make sure any background noises are muffled or better, erased.
However I am still quite unsure how good of a video a GoPro Hero 3 camera will be able to take but the different reviews and Youtube clips have showed its capabilities as above average. Additionally, as it is also a hand held device I would need to take into account how I can make the video smooth and not "shaky". Apparently some sort of tape or rubber from an inner tube can "dampen the vibrations" which affect the camera's smoothness said "http://gopro.com/support/articles/how-to-prevent-waves-distortions-videos".
I plan to learn few tips on how to record videos from a friend who takes media and film studies and hope that his expertise would prove useful if not beneficial in my learning of shooting videos.
