Filming Preparation

The group has planned to do filming preparation before we actually head out to Burwell, the practice will involve test shots of some of the more difficult camera shots, as explained below:

• Clip 15 on our shot list involves filming with the camera focused on a guitar in the foreground, and the main protagonist skimming stones in the background, slightly blurred so that the focus is noticeably on the guitar (Included for stylistic purposes, not integral to the plot/storyline). We thought that this may be difficult to film, so a practice is essential.
• We were looking to practice the second clip of the bar (Shot 17), where we have the male standing alone in the bar, with the female imposed over the top of the shot, as if he is sat alone thinking of her. his can be practiced at any time due to this being just an editing feature opposed to a filming issue.
• A good time to practice using what we learned in the Youtube clip in the previous post, would be in a preparation for shot 7 - the clip involving the camera panning across the bridge that the male is sat on. We can try filming this in a lesson dedicated to shot practice, using the tips learnt in the Youtube clip.

The above features will be practiced in a preparation lesson before we head to Burwell to film the actual video.
