Filming (30th/01/2012) - New Scenes
Today, myself and James went to re-shoot one of our exciting shots as the original was slightly shaky. We also managed to film a few new scenes to make our "Opening to a New Thriller Film" longer.
These scenes included:
- An extreme close up of eyes.
- An extreme close up of breathing - with water vapor.
- A tilted pan shot of a figure putting on gloves.
- A van driving into, and out of our thriller location.
- A scene where the victim is 'dragged' along the floor.
You can view the whole list of videos we filmed on the 30th/01/2012 on YouTube using the link below:

Version 1
The following two shots below might contain a slight movement. This is not an error. I did this on purpose. The reason why I did this was because as the scene is a close up of someone's mouth breathing, the movement with the camera represents the movement of the mouth as it breathes in, and outwards with them. This creates a sense of realism.

We've chosen to include this shot as it'll build up suspense and create a cliff hanger at the end of our opening. We hope to cut to this shot after the 'dramatic' appearance of the titles - Thus creating a frightening cliff hanger to hook the viewer.

Oh the horror, the horror I tell you! The sacrifices I have to make for the 'magical' wonders of film making! Mum should be pleased! It's worth it through! |
Glad to see the shoot is going well, Austen. A tripod will help the steadiness of your shots (one of the key areas you're marked upon) - use every time you shoot.
ReplyDeleteThe shoots are going very well thanks. Myself and James have filmed all of the shots which we've came up with for the moment, and those included in the storyboards.
ReplyDeleteHowever, even through we haven't used a tripod when filming, just to be clear why: not because we dont want to, but simply because we can not see any possible shots to use it for - We just do not know how we could possibly use it yet for our opening.
Any suggestions are welcomed through.
Thanks.
