Introduction filming

One of the conventions of dance music is a introduction section before the main music begins to play. Last week my group went out and filmed our introduction, as a rough cut, to see how effective it would and to show us what we need to do to improve it.

Things that went well:
After 15 minutes of planning we managed to get our final shot, where you see the main character walk into the assumed club, and as the door closes the lights switch off to signal that the music is about to start, in one take.

Things that could be improved:
We did not have any means to hold the handi cam steady at low angles, and as the first few shots of our introduction are low angle we had to drag the handi cam along the floor. This lead to some really shaky shots that we will re film using a simple but effective cradle, made of a steady base supported by string, to reduce camera shake. Also we noticed a continuity error so we shall have to re film this too.
