One of the things I have done is to start a Bell Target shooting club in Uttoxeter. We shoot in a local social club, many clubs shoot in pubs and social clubs. With them all being closed obviously shooting has been suspended, but we are trying to maintain interest by shooting at home, those of us who have a yard, shed or suitable corridor/room to set a target up. Bell target shooting was the most populist activity this country has ever had, in its heyday more people shot bell target than played darts, football or went fishing. Probably because of its availability in the pubs and clubs - in the years between the Boer War and World War One Birmingham alone (and Brum was about half the size it is now) there were over 1200 bell target shooting clubs! This little video I made from 3 clips I shot of myself shooting. It was shot on my D4s and I am still trying to find out about how to shoot video. I don't understand frame rates and stuff, so at the moment I am using A priority, because I can and at least I end up with something, not nothing. The other problem is of course I have to guess if I am actually in the frame or not. I haven't worked that one out yet either.
The editing is done on what I have, Windows media maker.... I have 'Shotcut', but I can't understand the tutorial and I have not managed to do a single step of editing on it yet. I can't remember what to do when.... by the time I have finished listening to the tutorial I have forgotten what you do to load the video clip into it. I am slowly writing it down so I can refer to it.
Any help on how I can do this kind of thing better will be gratefully received. I am not changing from my D4s, because it is what I am used to using for photography and I have the means to process the pictures, which are the important bit at the moment.
