The Carnival of Venice is one of the most traditional celebrations in Italy and is famous throughout the country and, indeed, the world – I would have been a fool not to pack my camera and set out to record it.
I filmed the Carnival of Venice in February 2016 with my first camera, which I had bought a couple of months before. I still had to learn a lot (and I really mean a lot) about compositions, camera movements, interaction with subjects, and general technical aspects of recording videos. The Carnival presented itself to me as a fun and educative opportunity to experiment and gather experience with my camera, while also creating a small video covering the event.
