Throughout our filming our music, we were insistent on using hand held camera work rather than more structured look achieved using a tripod. The main reason for wanting to have a hand held camera was to involve the audience in the narrative and create a more personal feel. This in combination with some POV shots immerse the audience within the story rather than just being a passive viewer. Hand held camera suited the two narratives well and our intention to allow the audience to adapt the message/narrative to themselves. In getting class feedback we asked specifically about our use of hand held camera work and we received really useful, positive feedback.
In doing a bit more research into hand held camera work, I found this useful, concise website about the main reasons for the use of hand held camera work. The second point made is most applicable to our media product: Narrative Function of Hand Held Camera Work
