WORK MISSED

I have not been able to blog for awhile due to the open days and amount of homework I've been doing for my other subjects; leaving me exhausted, however I have managed to complete a plan and have managed to edit it and change different things as different problems have come up.
I have started the documentary research to see what kind of scenes that can be captured in urban Philippines which I can maybe show the difference in rural and urban life and culture, though I don't expect much difference.I have also started watching tutorials from a man called Mic Bergsma, a GoPro enthusiast. He seems to have many tips and tricks on how to capture different angles of films, and how to soften or dampen the jittery movement of shooting a POV camera. Additionally, watching other videos such as video maker (a youtube channel with around 90,000 subscribers and averaging 40,000 to 300,000 views per video) show that a scene where high angles offer a great perspective over crowds whereas lower angles "are the opposite, imparting feelings of dynamic engagement" with the scene being shot.
Different camera movements:
The dolly, where the camera is zooming out while the track with the camera on it is simultaneously moving in, creating a "woozy" effect; the handheld shot, where the camera is handheld without accessory to provide a jerky film to the scene. One I will be able to take advantage of as my GoPro is a handheld device anyway. High angle and low angle shots, aforementioned above, to depict the scenic views of the whole environment as well as showing a much more personal view of the characters to make the audience more involved.

I have not been able to buy a GoPro as of late, due to the lack of pay my job has provided, nevertheless I will hope to acquire a loan from my dad in the means to pay him back after the trip to Philippines.
Additionally, I've researched different terms that I may use in editing but never actually knew the names of e.g. "Splice - put a piece of video/audio in between two other pieces of video.
Overwrite - put a piece of video/audio over the top of an existing piece of video.
B roll – a video/audio insert which will help fill out your article/story.e.g., in a story about McDonalds, B roll would be a few seconds of footage, sound, etc, of the McD sign, chips frying, someone ordering a meal...basically everything around the main story and the main quotes.
Flash frame – a single frame from another clip accidentally left behind during editing. May not be visible, as it lasts a spilt second, but you might think something strange was up.
Jump cut - when a subject in your report suddenly switches locations with no explanation"http://www.englishandmedia.co.uk/mm/subscribers/downloads/archive_mm/mmagpast/Vjing_MM18.html
