Where and when did we go?
On the 8th of February, we went to Wilderness Woods to practice filming, and using different techniques that we are thinking of using in our actual opening.
What was the purpose?
The purpose on going to Wilderness Woods was to experiment with filming techniques and to get used to using the equipment.
What did we do?
At the start of the trip we firstly went on a reccie around the woods to find places that would be good for filming. Some of the places we found had really good lighting from the sun, and it was a great day for filming. We then took some stills along with some clips of interesting techniques such as canted angle and point of view, that we are thinking of using in our own sequence.
What worked?
I think the point of view filming we took I thought was very effective, and it worked very well. Especially when we used hand-held, because it gave the effect that we were running away, it was just a small and easy technique but gave a big impact.
What didn’t work?
When we took the establishing shot we found it quite difficult to move the camera smoothly from a high angle to the level we were at, so we will have to practice that. Furthermore, we found it hard using the canted angle because we could not see clearly what we were filming as the camera was at an angle, so we had to guess.
