Learning how to use the GoPro & Development of test shots

As one of our feature shots in the video, we are planning to do a tracking shot off the artists feet walking through the church. We really like this idea as it is quite a different shot, and will add atmosphere as the framing is quite unconventional. 
We have tested this shot before, however we weren't able to access the Go Pro, so the shot looked messy and the movement was jagged.
To test this again, we have used the Go Pro camera on a dolly and pushed it across the floor.

This was our first attempt of creating the tracking shot with the Go Pro, we are quite happy with how it turned out as the speed is relative to the walking, and the movement is much smoother than our first attempt. However, towards the end of the clip the movement becomes much more jagged as we struggled to keep the speed steady.

To try and make the movement smoother, we tried to push the dolly down a slope as this meant we didnt have to push it. Although this worked well as we didn't need to touch it: the movement did become too fast and we lost the atmosphere that we want to create.

This was our final attempt at a smaller slope, however we did have to push it and battle with stronger winds. This made the movement a bit more jagged and uncontrolled. 

To improve, we will will attach a string to the dolly as this means that we can pull it across the floor without having to physically push it which will create smooth movements.
