Practice Shots



We went to Pollards Hill to take an establishing shot of the estate, the weather helped and we also used our imagination and chose to blow smoke towards the camera lense to help create the atmosphere.




This was an intresting shot we had to get the actor on to the tree and set the tripod at the right height, we had to get as many shots as possible, and make sure atleast one was perfect, reason being we needed our actor to jump off, and she wasn't very keen on the matter, and didn't really want to do it again but it turned out ok in the end.




This was a very easy shot to think of, but rather difficult and challenging when it came to shooting it. We had to get the timing and the angle of the camera just right, we also needed the jump to be landing in the same place everytime for all the different angled shots. It was a fun shot to film, and we had think of different ways and angles to shoot it, but the we were happy with the end result.




We took a high angle shot of the station's sign so we could have a cut away of where the shot would be taking place.




Whilst on our jorney we noticed a car that had been smashed and just left on the road, we immediately thought this would be a great shot for one of our riot scenes in the trailer. We found this shot by luck and so had to make sure we got it as perfect as we could because we would not have another chance to get such a shot.





In order to get this shot one of the group members squeezed the fake blood from the tube whilst me and another member were in the process of getting the shot. One of us were giving direction of where the drops of blood needed to be and the other was focusing on filming the actual shot when it happened. This shot was about timing we didnt want it to look too fake so it had to look just right.




This shot is personally one of my faviourite shots, it;s a very quick and 'to the point' kind of shot, we had the actor just turn and look at the camera, to give the dramatic effect, it needed to be quick and it was, and with a bit of added music, like we did in our prlimenary trailer it would help give off the effect we were trying to portray.
