Test shoot

Today during the lesson we decided to do a test shoot to see what our planned shots would look like in reality. The majority of the footage we are planning to collect are simple close-ups, mid and long shots. At the same time we aim to film some more complicated shots (e.g. the tracking shot transitioning into a mid shot from the back of the character). That's the reason why we made an emphasis on these more challenging ones in order to see whether our goals are actually realistic and doable. 

One of the main things we did was filming the transition part, editing it and seeing what it is going to look like:

To sum up this part, we are very satisfied with the way our idea is implemented. Taking into account the fact that on the shoot day our equipment will be significantly more sophisticated, it is clear to us that our goals and ideas are definitely achievable.

Apart from this, we were making test videos of such shots like an over-the-shoulder of the fake mother walking or a close-up of Juls turning the tab on. 

Finally we shot a few POVs (we plan to use quite a lot of POVs in our opening sequence) to figure out how to place the camera the way that it looks like a realistic POV shot.
