During our shoot day we planned out and organised what we were doing throughout the day. We made sure we had our shot list and storyboard to hand so we were prepared with what shots were needed throughout the day.
We made sure we had all the camera equipment and props we needed for our shoot and head out to our location of “corn-hill manor”. We made sure we had our props prepared before hand so it would be perfect and organised for our shoot so we could just get on with filming.
During our shoot we started filming and everything went smoothly and to plan, we made sure all the shots were included into our shoot and to get extra shots that we thought worked well and that we can add in to make sure our opening title sequence is the best of our ability. Overall i think that our group went really well with our organzation as we made sure we had all the props we needed aswell as a shot list to hand so everything we wanted was included.
There was an issue that happen the day before we shoot our opening title sequence where one of our actors for our policeman had covid and couldn’t make it to the shoot so we used the backup to make sure we could still film and shoot. But luckily we arose to our issue and got the backup in place.
If we were to do anything differently in our shoot I wish we made sure for our costumes the bottoms for the police officer were trousers, so we could get more shots involved in the shoot. However working with the top half of the policeman worked well aswell.
During our shoot I learnt some new skills when doing camera composition, placing the camera low down and on to the height of the object made for cool and exciting shots for when we come to editing. We did a shot when the camera is on the floor for a close up of the bike helmet and i was really proud of our group for coming up with that idea.
The skills I learnt in many of our camera workshops taught us how to set up the camera and how focusing the camera is very important for a detailed and expensive shot. This helped us massively as we worked quickly and clean as we knew how to work and use the camera from the tips we learnt from the workshop
The equitment we used for our shoot consists of the black magic 4k mini ursa camera and tripod. We also used strip lights to reflect the police car lights which we used the colours of red and blue flashing.
My favourite part of the day was setting up for our shoot. We created our crime scene and used all our props in action. Pouring blood over the bike and smashing the bike into pieces so it looks like it was hit was really good fun and i think myself and all of the group enjoyed it aswell. The footage that we shot i am very happy as we managed to get everything we wanted involved along with some extra clips that were not planned but are going to have a massive impact in how impressive our final opening title sequence looks.
For my next filming project i have learnt being prepared with props and your intentions is vital for a smooth running shoot. Making sure the group is happy with all of the descions along with extra props helps a lot with creating a perfect filming project.
When it comes to editing our footage i am excited to see how all of our shoots look, along side how it all comes together. We worked hard on our close up shots and extreme close ups so i am excited to put it all tofother and add music and titles over the top to make it realistic and exciting for the audience.
The only challenge i am worried about in the editing suite is making sure we don’t repeat simiular shots alongside picking the correct background soundtrack for our opening title sequence.
But overall i am very proud of how our shoot went and i think the rest of the group is proud and excited to get onto editing and finalising our opening title sequence.
