Tracking shot practical

Travelling / Steadicam shot / one take  - Includes no editing, camera follows characters along in a scene. This type of cinematography makes the audience feel more connected by following the action and not distracting or disturbing anything with evident editing.
To experiment this, our group took a continuous shot of people running from someone scary. What went well was the transition from the first character to the rest however the steadiness of the actual camera could be improved along with adding in any other ideas such panning down to the grass and up again as part of a ' cut ' also allowing the actors in the scene to change positions. This includes a technique learnt and demonstrated in Birdman-

An example of a film which successfully demonstrates a Steadicam shot is Bird man. Though it includes some cuts, they are subtle and make a scene look as though it has been filmed all at once. For example, cutting during pan shots. The camera has a few seconds to pan to something irrelevant or unnoticeable to keep the audience distracted whilst using a cut.
Some ways in which the camera has been placed means there's a natural wipe cut. - an object in the shot goes across the top and bottom of the frame allowing it to 'wipe' across.
