FOCUS TEST

NEW CAMERA

So one of the main things that was clear following our trip to the BFI was that in the exemplar music videos, the camera quality was incredibly high. After voices our concern that compartively, our handycams might not live up to that standard, we were given new cameras, Canon XF100's.

Although I'd done a little bit of filming already, it was a no brainer to reshoot. The quality of this camera is UNREAL. The distance of the focus is incredible and the light settings are really useful. Overall its a much more professional camera and I'm excited to film more.
