Shot test

This is one of the shots in Mind Reader. I want to zoom into the actor's mouth. I borrow a hand hold boom to move down camera. At the beginning, I use GoPro camera, but the frame looks like fisheye lens. Therefore, I use DSLR instead of GoPro. However, because of hand hold, the camera is not steady, like the footage shows above. So I decide to use AE to solve this problem.

This shot video is I use AE 3D layer to make the zoom in effect. I think it is better than hand hold. 

I have also test the actor roar in the night. It also creates the same problem. So I come out two ways to shot this shot: one is the method I describe above. Another one is like the photos below. Zoom out from close up actor's face to long shot then tilt up to sky.

After this test of shot, I find that each shot of film is not that easy to set. If I want to make a particular shot, I should think about the practical aspect of making the shot. Besides, try to change a bit. If the shot is beyond my ability, I should change it rather than do it in lower effect.
