Thriller test footge.


This footage was filmed on Tuesday afternoon and are all practice shots for our final piece. The purpose of this test footage is to see how long it would take to shoot each shot type and what the best locations for them are. We feel that these shots were successful as we managed to keep the camera steady throughout and they showed off the thriller element well. What we should be aware of: 1. Establishing long shot: make sure the camera is steady and can clearly portray the movement of the girls. 2. Close up floor tracking shot: make sure that the blood trail is easily seen during the shot and that it is the main part of the shot. 3. Ascending tracking shot: make sure that the camera doesn't shake when ascending up the girl's bodies so that the upward transition from the ground to them is smooth. We used these shots as they are probably the most difficult to shoot and so we needed the practice to get them as steady and smooth as possible. Also they show the different range of shots that will be used during our final product and we can get some experience of shooting in the forest.
