pre-production test shoot

Test Shoot

Last week we went off in our groups to find a location and film a test shoot for our opening sequence. We found a really good location for the tent section of our opening sequence in the woods. We didn’t have any of our props (tent) which is obviously a vital part to the scene but I feel as though we worked well with what we had.




We had to shoot the whole thing on my iPhone so obviously the camera work was shaky and it wasn’t nearly as good quality as we hope the final product to be. We focused it on the shot types and came up with loads of different ideas as to how we could manipulate our surroundings to our benefit and take advantage of everything around us.

Despite our efforts, the footage we did have didn’t turn out too great as a lot of the good shots got lost on my phone because it ran out of storage which was very frustrating, so we decided to try again in a different location. We then focused on the bath scene at the beginning and end of the opening sequence and to do this we went up and used the bath in Hurtwood House. This was not a very accurate representation of what we would hope for the bathroom to look like in the real thing. This went well however it wasn’t exactly what we would hope it would turn out to be, but it is only a test shoot and it gave us an accurate idea as to how we would film it and the sort of angles we are looking for so it was helpful in that respect.
