Camerawork practices.

 Our teacher told us to attempt focus pull and reverse zoom. This put the entire class in a frenzy because despite our many attempts, we all did a terrible job. Then our teacher told us to have this as our homework and use these techniques well.

For this, I had to lie face front (upside down) on a skateboard and rolled myself backwards, while zooming in (using Filmic Pro)


This is my attempt of focus pull. I used Filmic Pro for this one as well.
