Filming Practice

During our lesson last week, we went out with the new cameras to practice various shots we hope to use. We also had a look around for different locations to see if we could find a plain white room where we could shoot the little girl going crazy. Here is some of the footage that we took.

The shot below is of a fade of the same person, in the same position, but just located some where different, this is something we are interested in using in our teaser trailer to link the main character of the teaser trailer to different aspects of their life. This effect would also make our trailer look more creative instead of a plain cut back and forth better clips. The camera we were using to film this has a option where you can get the screen to split into a grid. This was helpful as we used this to position Taylor, shown in the video, in the correct place to get a smooth cut. As this was only a practice it isn't as accurate as we may have liked, but after a few more we will have this effect down to a tee.

This second video above is a time lapse. We wanted to practice this was an idea we liked from the start of the project no matter what the genre we wanted to incorporated this into our piece. Above we waiting  for the busiest time a school to film which was after the bell. This then gave us lots of filming time to the have enough footage to speed up in editing and also have enough movement of people to create a flow to create a good practice time lapse.
