New Wave Shots

            

            

Here are examples of a close up shot and the cut away. The location for this footage was at Five Street Park in Nuneaton. The park has a reputation of being quite "rough" so we thought we could get some good footage there. Unfortunately The white balance was wrong so theres a blue tint to the shots but if it weren't for that these two would be really good. Both pieces of footage were filmed hand held with a Cannon 600.

Health & Safety

Having a reputation as a rough area we had be careful of where we were filming and where we were leaving the equipment. There were also precautions made for pieces of broken glass on the floor that people could fall on or tread on. We also made sure that no one went off filming on their own.

New Wave

The reason for these shots was because of the French new wave. I wanted to capture both smoking the cigarette and the finished burning on the floor so i could edit the footage and put jump cuts in to show the "life" of the cigarette.

Oxford trip

                               
         
Recorded meeting 2

We held another meeting for the Oxford trip as it was a day when we needed to be really organised. In the meeting we discussed what locations we would visit, what shots we would take and how much time we would allow for each location shoot.

                             

Recorded Meeting 1

When we started to go out and film on location we realised that we needed to be more organised with what were filming, where we were filming and different shot types that we were doing. we realised that the best way to get around this was to have meetings and record them. this way we could listen back over the recordings to see what was said.
