Where and when did we go?
On the 8th of February 2011 we went to Wilderness Woods in order to conduct a reccie of a possible area for filming, or a similar area for filming as we may use (woods).
What was the purpose?
The purpose involved filming different shots in different areas around the woods as well as taking stills with two different cameras (Panasonic HDC-SD10 and Nikon D90) to compare footage and note possible areas and techniques that could be used.
What did we do?
We used our two different cameras and took clips and stills of different shots in different areas. We took a list of shots (including, for example, point-of-view, medium longshot, etc.) we would aim to take in order to get a range of experience in what we may use in our opening sequence.
What worked?
We believe that many of our shots went well, including our point-of-view shots, extreme close-ups, tracking shots, canted angles and low angle shots worked well, as well as some other techniques we used such as a very high point-of-view shot (gotten by holding the camera up on a tripod above the cameraman's head).
What didn't work?
Some shots we were not entirely happy with, such as the 360 degree pan and the high angle shot.
please post shots or short film
ReplyDeleteThis was a good trip, and a good chance to try out a large range of different filming techniques. I feel that we have all learnt a lot and that this experience will help us in our film opening.
