Diary Post-Cinematography Practice

We practised panning the camera so that it following a person walking past the camera. It took several times to get the shot to be smooth, stable and to keep the person in frame. After five attempts I was able to get a good shot by telling my friend to walk slowly so that I could pivot the camera carefully whilst looking at the camera. The shot was successful in that it was smooth and my friend stayed in the middle of the frame the whole time. This was helpful for my final video since I now have practise and can consider how to use a panning shot in my film.
