The one notable challenge for the dolly zoom assignment was setting up the equipment. Although I was aware that setting up the dolly required collaboration with other crew members, I often attempted to do them on my own so that I would not disrupt my classmates during their class time. However, looking back, I should have been more open to recruiting people for my project because not only would it have helped me out, it would also have been a good experience for the beginning students. The dolly zoom required careful practice before the day of the shoot. Even practicing the same movement for 30 minutes straight was only able to do so much to improve my skill One thing I kept in mind though, was the direction I moved my fingers in correlation to the dolly. It is already a given that I was going to be getting many shots to make the best possible attempt, so mistaking my finger direction only cuts into the time I could be shooting more takes. Overall, the shoot turned out okay. One thing that bugged me was the slow shutter speed during the "real world" takes. This slow shutter speed fit the mood in the "dream world" but I did not change it back to normal shutter speed for the real world, ultimately creating a distorted image.
