Camera:

We experimented a lot with our camera before we started the real filming:

We particularly focused on working the manual exposure settings and the manual focus, both of which we used a lot in our sequence. We were able to work the manual focus and exposure settings well according to our environments lighting, but we did not attempt to use any focus pulls in our sequence as although possible, the focus wheel was tricky and inconsistently sensitive when operating it. 

I would advise all future groups doing this project to utilise the manual focus feature of the camera as it gives a much more professional look to the film and can be very rewarding when trying to apply greater meaning to a shot.
