Filming - Capturing Different Angles

To make our music video of a professional standard, we must not use 'boring' shots as these will not maintain the audience's attention. After looking at over one hundred music videos throughout the duration of the project, it is evident that the most striking and interesting videos were those that used a variety of different shots and used many different angles.
Today over the park, we tried to do this as we discovered that we were short of footage that were of Sarah's face; we will be using shots of the face to display emotion, as it is the most emotive part of the body. Moreover, we also hoped that the filming session would help invigorate some more creative ideas and help shape the remainder of the project.
On several occasions, we filmed in the same shot numerous times, each time altering the framing, the distance between the camera and subject, the focus and the vantage point. This allowed us to create a decent amount of footage in a short space of time, and gave us a lot of options for the editing part of the process.
Below is an image of us altering the length of the legs of the tripod, so we can film from a different angle.
