Test Footage

Before we filmed our final footage for this project it was important to do some test shots/footage. This allowed us to see some of the issues that we might face during the real filming process. Below is a short video showing the different shots that we tested out.

The main issue we found was the dolly is quite noisy and can be difficult to control, this is because of the small wheels. We are however going to try and use the dolly, and see the effect during and after filming. We will make a decision, on the day, if it is necessary to use the dolly. On close up shots we can see that lighting is really important and that it's hard to get the lighting right and so that the audience can see the footage. We will need to consider this on the day as well. Also, just from watching the footage back we can see that other people (the public) can get in the way of the shot and distract from the atmosphere. It's important to consider this on the day.
