Filming - Practice (TEST FOOTAGE)

  
Before the actual filming was done, we needed to practice filming some of the shots that we were going to be using during our actual filming. Sath and I filmed several shots, using a friend as the artist because we thought by having a person in the video would give us a real feel of what we will be up against and someone to use as a subject for filming.



Below is a short clip of the shots we filmed:


During the practice filming we came across several problems which made us think about how we could prevent it. For example, we did not know how to use the tripod with wheels properly as it kept making the camera shake. We found a way to overcome this by using two people to hold the camera, it was very weird and awkward but it worked.




Even though we only had four shots on our list, from seeing the number of clips you can see how many retakes we had to do. Having to repeatedly shoot one shot gave us a real sense of how it is trying to film anything in a professional manner.
