Planning my Production: Practice Shots

Before filming our production we decided to practice and experiments with different shots and our ability to frame them. We considered ways in which we could improve our angles, frame shots and techniques in order to have experience for the shooting of our Short Film.

Miranda Burns was absent on the day we practised these shots in our school so our understudy stepped in - Sarah Mauremootoo.



We practised this shot to see whether the quality of filming would still be of a good standard even though the camera will be moving freestyle at quite a fast pace. Now that I have seen that this type of scene can work effectively, I think we can incorporate it within a chase scene towards the end of the film.


We practised this shot angle to see how far away the camera quality can detect the movement and expression of the characters.




This is a reaction shot that we practised to see whether the camera could detect the fast movement and then clearly show the reaction of the character. We may decide to feature this type of camera shot in the film itself.


This close up shot allowed Lucy and I to see that the camera that we would use to film would be clear in focus and precision.



We considered  this high angle shot to possibly feature as a CCTV shot on the train. If we were to do this we would alter the colour to black and white.






The two point of view shots above would feature in our film as from the stalker's perspective as he spies on his victim.






These two examples of camera shots through the mirror will be featured near the beginning of the film and will probably be in the first scene where the main character is introduced.
