Shot experiments


The driving scenes 

This section was filmed by Olivia at the start of the term. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 related issues, I couldn't be there for this, however I was able to film all the scenes afterwards. Olivia filmed these scenes with her drone or with her camera connected to the front of her car. The camera on the front of the car didn't pick up on the people inside it and instead reflected the sky and trees above it but this was effective as we didn't want the characters in the opening's faces to be shown to create an enigma code.

In our film, there is a scene where the two characters are shown to be driving on a road to the park, and we needed to present this to show how the characters got to a different location from the first on (the kitchen). The shot was planned to be an aerial tracking shot of the car. Olivia experimented with some interesting angles and used a suction camera mount to attach her camera to the front of her car. She then filmed some footage with this of her and her dad driving the car, which we could actually use for our film as their faces weren't visible behind the reflection of the sky and trees on the car window. This was good as it kept our characters' identities anonymous to the viewer and introduced an enigma code, therefore we will be using the footage in the final product. Finally, she experimented with some tracking shots using the drone with some unusual angles, and we called to discuss the experimental shots.
