Film Progress Week Two

This shot represents a potential "point of view" shot for our film. Part of our film will encompass the murderers chasing after Josh, the victim, in our film. Thus, thus specific shot can be used to show the chase from the murderers point of view which gives viewers a new perspective in the entire plot line. The only problem with this shot is that you can not film and drive at the same time, so the person filming has to try to position the camera so that it looks like the driver is filming.

This location represents our official establishing shot. I like how the length of the road gives a sense of depth to the film as viewers subconsciously recognize that this film will take them for a long road ahead. There are no real issues in this scene except for ensuring that, for the first few seconds of the film, there will be stillness on the road with no other movement so that viewers can fully engulf themselves into the setting.

This picture represents the car chasing shot in our film where the mysterious driver is following/chasing the main character as he runs. The only trouble we may run into with this shot is making sure that the camera is steady enough to clearly capture the shot which can simply be fixed with a camera stabilizer or tripod. 

Filming Week One

This image represents our establishing shot for our short film that falls under the first scene drawn into our storyboard. Ultimately, our main character will be running down a road before he begins to get chased down, thus this initial establishing shot will set the dark, mysterious scene. Ultimately, we realized that this shot would certainly be implemented into our film, however we need to re-film this scene on a more mysterious dark path at night. This film will not be too difficult to create as we merely need to introduce the setting through a brief panning shot.

This image represents one of the multiple scenes of our main character, Josh, running. The only problem with creating this shot is maintaining a stillness of the camera. In this image we did not have a camera stabilizer, thus the shot appears very blurry as the camera was bouncing. In the future, we will need to re-film this scene with a camera stabilizer to maintain the steadiness and clearness of the shot that will ultimately help portray the concept of the film better.

This image represents the final scene of our short film in which the main character has been hit over the head with a baseball bat. This shot can simply be filmed through standing above the character to show their unconscious state. Moving forward, we can take the image from a higher angle to encompass more of the ground and create a feeling of isolation that the character is going through as he lays on the ground alone.
