Our main shoot was a
lot smoother than the test shoot as we were more prepared and experienced. We
had changed the shots that didn’t work in our test shoot by making alterations
to our storyboard. We created a shootboard that would help us on the shoot as
well as altering and using our original shootboard. We had already had practise
of the shot types we were going to use and thus made the shoot quicker as
setting up the camera took less time as we already knew what shots we wanted to
achieve.
Our whole test shoot
opening changed, shots were added or removed and we were able to achieve a
different feel of the film and connote the story better. Some examples of
changes made from the test to main shoot are shown below.
Main shoot
Test shoot
The running shots were
changed to be quicker, and have more of a storyline to them without being
random. As you can see we added a handheld camera shot to make the audience
feel like someone is chasing David, not only this but we changed the ending as
it didn't seem that realistic.
Main shoot
Test Shoot
We changed the hacking
shots to create suspense and give a feel of who David is. Our CUs, we smoother
and our framing was better. We also changed location to my bedroom which had
better (more easily altered) lighting.
Our TA focus group weren't keen on the grainy HQ shots as they said it broke up the overall ‘professional feel’ of the sequence, to change this we are going to re-do them in the backup
shoot. Our teachers told us that a way to get rid of the grain in shots was to
add more lighting which we will do.
