Testing

 When testing the use of the monopod during on of our media lessons we found some issues and benefits when using this piece of kit. Firstly, we found that at times without the monopd the camera became very unsteady and shakey handheld, which isn't something we need for some shots in our media film. However, we thought that this kind of unsteady and staggery movements could create a great affect in presenting someone that is unstable or present an event like an earthquake of such.

When we used the monopod we found better results in obtaining a more stabel image. We found this useful especially when performing an over the shoulder shot and following any movements of Miles in this testing video as the camera movements was smooth when moving from different angles. Furthermore, we know that this would benefit us in certain situations during our filming for events where we need to move the camera from side to side.
