You said it: Candid filmers, So they must hide the camera because not everyone like to be filmed in public.

Some people can react very agressive when they noticed someone taped them.

There is some risk to make that film, so they had to be careful.

So stop to be a director and enjoy the stuff the candid filmers offered to you.

You should say Thank you to them, and not say to them how they should do their job.

To the candid filmers

I appreciate the work of the candid filmers very much. And I don’t want to complain. But there are some things which could be improved IMHO.

1. Zoom: I think that some filmers overtax their zoom funktion. I film aswell, but I never use the zoom more than at most 2 times a scene. It might be fun to play with the zoom but it just sucks and the camera always runs out of focus.

2. Panning: If there’s a good scene, keep on filming and don’t pan around if something happens in the back ground, as long the back ground scene is not worth it. I prefere 1 attractive girl to 100 big, old mamas.

3. Focus: I can understand that filmers don’t want to watch the entire the scene through their view-finder. But if you take the camera away, you sould take care to keep direction. As nobody wants to see the sand, the water or the sky. I saw scenes in which the girls get outside the frame for 90 percent of the scene.

4. Missing the best moments: You see two girls at the pool. Suddenly they tie up their hair, put away their cell-phones, but away their cigarettes, head for the pool and the filmer stops filming or pans away. Oh no! Right in that moment! Or they are already in the water, you have no idea what they are wearing, but when they come out you will know. Then they come out and the filmer pans away.

I suppose the viewing pleasure would be much better, if there was less zooming-in and -out (it really sucks), more continuity of the scenes, a steadier camerawork and more patience and more care for what is unimportant and what should be captured.
