When
in London I took photos of the landscape in London- for example canary wholf. I
done this to ensure that I knew what shots would be appropriate for the shooting.
Also the shots acted as test shot, therefore I could then see what canary wholf
would look like on camera and therefore on film.
I took these London to ensure that we had
correct test shots. This was due to Alex and Ellie going to London to get test
shots on the previous Friday when I was unable to attend. As a result of this I
took my own shots of London at different angles to see what effect they would
have on the thriller opening and how they link to a stereotypical thriller. I done
this to allow myself to be prepared for shooting and to ensure I knew where we
are going to be shooting
Then as a group we would take turns in filming
certain parts of the thriller opening a when not filming would be doing another
task. For example looking at the story board, knowing what shot was coming
next. And if I did not know confirm it with someone in the group. Also another
task would be to watch the other group member filming to see if it was up to
level 4 standards which was our target level grade we as a group wanted to
reach. Therefore, I would say that I think the camera is not straight or talk
about rule of thirds. If I was filming and ales or ellie said the camera is not
straight then I would make it straight. And next time when filming I would make
sure that this error would not be repeated. Additionally, we had to consider
our shots and that we were using a variety of different ones. For example, when
shooting our victim on the phoneme in a park in canary wholf had done a long
distance shot. I then suggested that we also do a close up one to see his
reaction. Additionally Alex and ellie were also coming up with alternative
shots that we could use at different parts of our thriller opening.
Consistency-
this was something we were always considering and ensuring was happening. We want
our video to be consistent and to flow from one frame to the next beleivably.
For example, if we shot our assassin picking up a gun with his right hand, in
the next frame, he would have to have the gun in his right hand otherwise the
audience would not beleive the shot and it would become unconvincing. And one
of our main attributes to considering our thriller opening successful is if it
entices the audiences and they believe it to be believable. Also we made sure
to shoot all of our shots in the day for the day scene and we had to shoot over
two days as it got dark e calculated around 4.30pm. However on the first night of
shooting( the Saturday night\) it got
dark at 4..30 and we had to finish filming a scene as some of the actors were
only scheduled to be filmed on the Saturday night therefore ether film was a
bit darker. And we came up with a solution to colour grade it lighter when
editing, the next day we took into consideration that we must finish shooting
before 4.30 as our film will not be constant and the quality would not be as
good.
