Filming at Canterbury Cathedral

Yesterday was the second time I went down to the Cathedral to Film with students. It is interesting to see how each student views the space and captures the space. Some are fascinated with the light cast, others the stone work, and others the statues or the tourist. Plus it always helps to have a ton of kit and lenses to pick from.  The staff and the care takers of the Cathedral are very gracious to let us film there and capture the splendours on video!

Students were able to pick from a variety of lens from fish eye, zoom and  35 mm, shoot on some Cannon 7D and 1200D and a Sony Z7 Camera.  It was a great opportunity for them to learn how to use the different kit, and at the same time get a sense of what its like being in the field and the challenges one has when filming on location, like filling up their SD cards!

Next week the students will edit what they filmed, and hopefully they wont mind if I share their work!
