Head Cam

Storyboard 10 shows, we use a head cam on the guitar. To gain more confidence and knowledge of how to use the head cam, we did some practice shots with it. Neither Elissa or I have used a head cam before so we needed to learn. The head cam itself does not have a view finder so it took a few attemps to get it perfect. We now know how to get the angle and security of the head cam on the guitar. We've taken photo and filming of each stage of our experimenting to show our development

Our First Attempt
This is just Velcro-ed securely around the head of the guitar using the strap provided.

From this first attempt, we decided that we wanted to adjust the angle of the head cam as we wanted the guitar to take up more of the frame to give a better impact.

Our Second Attempt

As it doesn't have a viewfinder it would have made this task very difficult, but after experimenting we now know the angles that work best and that it's secure on the head of the guitar.

We were both please with the framing of this shot. However, we wanted the guitar to be more horizontally straight rather than at an odd angle. This was just a learning curve.

Our Third Attempt

We now turned the head cam to a 45 degree angle to gain the desire effect we wanted. This is how it looked.

As it doesn't have a viewfinder it would have made this task very difficult, but after experimenting we now know the angles that work best and that it's secure on the head of the guitar.
