Hand-Held Shots
The hand-held movie camera first saw widespread use during World War II, when news reporters took their windup Arriflexes and Eyemos into the heat of battle, producing some of the most arresting footage of the twentieth century. After the war, it took a while for commercially produced movies to catch up, and documentary makers led the way, demanding the production of smaller, lighter cameras that could be moved in and out of a scene with speed, producing a "fly-on-the-wall" effect.This aesthetic took a while to catch on with mainstream Hollywood, as it gives a jerky, ragged effect, totally at odds with the organised smoothness of a dolly shot. The Steadicam (a heavy contraption which is attached a camera to an operator by a harness. The camera is stabilized so it moves independently) was debuted in Marathon Man (1976), bringing a new smoothness to hand held camera movement and has been used to great effect in movies and TV shows ever since. No "walk and talk" sequence would be complete without one. Hand held cameras denote a certain kind of gritty realism, and they can make the audience feel as though they are part of a scene, rather than viewing it from a detached, frozen position.

Not going to go with File 3 (50), as it has the two biggest cuts from what we originally wanted, plus it is the longest clip.
I’m also ditching File 2 (48) for File 1 (47), as the 2 Seconds off the Granddad dialogue I feel will be harder to cut down than it would be to add dialogue.
Chosen clip: File 1 (47)
Forgot to tape character at the end
Options:
Talk but just not show character
Have character in camera but occasionally looking behind him to watch for tripping.
