We had a couple of shots where the performer, which is myself, had my head cut of completely in one shot and in others the camera was quite shaky and kept moving and cutting out the performer; also the camera in one shot at Kings Cross kept going in and out of focus which ruined a very good shot completely.
The reason for this could be because in two shots Emily was holding the camera and was following me walking in the markets in Camden Town: we thought that this point of view shot was artistic and would look really good and match the theme and vibe of our music video but at some parts it just failed and ended up looking unprofessional and amateurish. I think if we could do several practise shots we could master holding the camera steady and filming but factors outside of our control like the weather (the wind) and the large crowds meant that we had to be extremely careful with the camera so it had to be moved to avoid a passerby colliding with the equipment and it potentially getting damaged or broken.
When we can, we should always have the camera on the tripod as it may be a nuisance to carry around and to put the camera on and off the tripod but it is always guaranteed to produce good quality shots.
Here are some screenshots of the shots that I have mentioned:
