The second shooting was basically similar to the first music video shooting, where the movements, the continiousity the rythm of actions and the story board set up was to match the music. Now we not only had to keep ourselves to these rules, but the lipsinging was an other factor we had to take into consideration at the recording.
Our choice has fallen on Gergő, he was the one who had the chance to proove not only his skills in taking the shots but in acting as well. So far I could mainly experience the camera basically from the other side, as an actor, so I really took advantage of my interrest in photography this time as the operator of the device.
Shooting however is a lot more different than taking a snapshot, you have to keep the camera constantly stable (if not using a tripod), beaware of changing light conditions so that the white balance does not go crazy from 2 or more sources of light ( in which case U better set it manually for the predominant light source-type) and watching the frame and space in front and behind the object in order to keep the zoom always on the topic.
In conclusion I would say that I could improove technically my shoots comparing to the first time I held a camera and I feel that I have understood the point in why does a camera man do different things and what for. Second time, I definetelly had more to learn from the shooting/recording part, which I feel positively about:)
