It is quit difficult to shoot running with handheld, but I think handheld is very useful when people want to create a tensional atmosphere. My First shot is not very balance; the second take is much better. I try to keep the actor in the middle of the frame so people will pay attention to the actor.

Shot2&3&4 is actually same shot but different frame. The medium shot is quite normal, the focus is somewhere on the door, because the actor is moving and the distance is quite short, we can’t actually tell that she is out of focus. The medium shot of feet, I reckon it is the construction of the frame cause the shot looks weird. Maybe a close shot of feet would be better. The medium close shot of her face is quite good. Same as shot2&3, I didn’t pull the focus, camera focus on the door. I like the construction and the frame size of shot 4, audience can pay attention to what happen.

For shot 5&6, I think I should shoot thins shot in a larger space, outdoor or on the street. It is too quick and short. I reckon shot 6 will be better if it is a close shot.
