Something we have discovered from watching such documentary film pieces as "the boy whose skin fell off" and the "educating Yorkshire" and "7up" series is that the sudden change from guerrilla film-making to film that has been recorded using a tripod and steady cam can be quite off putting for the viewer.
Guerrilla film making has a very rugged, almost shaky look to it and so it can sometimes seem like a lot of action is happening on the screen even when it isn't due to the erratic camera movements. This of course would make no sense in slow paced scenes and sit-down interview segments, but would be perfect for scenes where there is a lot going on, such as action scenes (like if we were to attend a no-to movement rally where there would be a lot going on).
Guerrilla film making would also be very convenient for us in terms of having to carry equipment as we would not have to worry about carrying a tripod around with us when we are out and about filming. This means we could potentially take other pieces of equipment instead, such as light reflectors or sound equipment.
