Camera

For my previous project, I used my sister's Cannon 60D DLSR camera, which has a very shallow range of focus. It can make the background look cool and out of focus, but it also is hard to keep the people I am shooting in focus, as them even wobbling back and forth slightly can cause them to be out of focus again. For my next project, I am using my parents Cannon Vixia HFG20 Digital Camcorder. The camcorder is different than the DSLR in that it has a much deeper range of focus. It also has several features that the DSLR didn't, such as the zebras feature we discussed in class and an auto-focus feature that can help for those moving shots that I am unable to repeat in the documentary. Overall, I am very happy to be changing to a different camera that is better suited to my needs for this project. See you all in class!
