First filming day

Today was our first day of filming. We decided that we would start by filming the shots we needed for our title sequence. So during our media lesson we went out to a bridge over the A2.

Here are the shots which we took.

Here is the first shot which we took of the cars on the motorway. We set the camera up on the tripod and zoomed in on the cars as they passed by. This shot covered both flows of traffic which we changed in the other shots to see which looked best.

Here is the second shot which we took on a bridge over the A2. We left the camera in the same position but zoomed in on a particular flow of traffic so only cars in that direction were seen in the shot.

Here is the last shot which was taken on the bridge. Again we kept the camera in the same position by changed the focus to the opposite flow of traffic, zooming in so only the cars going in that direction could be seen.

Deciding Shot

Out of the three shots we both decided that we would use the first one taken which displayed both flows of traffic. Although all the shots were clear and of good quality, the first shot was most effective. So when we edited the shot we would speed the traffic up and then rewind. Hopefully this would create an interesting clip to add to the title sequence.
