Today Adam and I recorded the shots of our thriller along with actors Sam Willis and Ashley Grantham. We went to our location, Toton Sidings, and recorded our shots mid afternoon so we could use natural lighting.
For our first shot, the stalker walking with a shot of his feet looking down, we decided the best way to film this was for Sam to hold camera above his head as he walked. The only problem with this is that the camera is not steady. To try and battle this we put the camera on a tripod, although this was still not a steady shot.
The second shot is of the stalker walking away from the camera down a path. This shot was filmed using a tripod and a long take. A problem with us filming outdoors is that there are other members of the public about, so we had to take more shots than we had planned due to people walking in front of them.
The third shot was a close up pan of Ashley listening to music. We shot this using a tripod and panning the camera round.
The next shot was an over the shoulder long take, in which Sam walked away from the camera and you can see Ashley walking towards him in the distance. We filmed this using a tripod so we could be sure of a steady shot. We then filmed this the opposite way round, looking over Ashley's shoulder.
The next shot was a high angle shot of Ashley and Sam walking towards each other. This was filmed on a bank next to the path so that we could get height in our shot. To improve this shot we decided to use a pan shot, following Ashley until Sam came into the shot.
The next shot was a wide two shot, in which the camera was but amongst some trees and bushes, and Sam and Ashley were walking towards each other down the path, we did this so it would allow us to use a variety of shots from different angles when it comes to editing.
The final shot was a tilt shot that goes from Ashley's hat on the floor, tilting up and showing Sam walking away dragging Ashley's bag.
