Practice Filming

 

 

Here we have had a trial of filming two of the trickier parts of our coursework. First of all, we have been keen to make our title part of the sequence, but we knew it would be difficult to do this. We want the title to appear on an envelope that it sropped in the sequence but wanted to see if this would work. It took us a long time to get the envelope to fall at the right angle so it is properly framed, but we did manage this in the end and then used Livetype to experiment with the titling, which we feel has worked well.

 

The second sequence does not work so well. We want to use jump cuts to give the impression of almost zooming into the door, but without the steady smoothness of a zoom. We have seen jump cuts used effectively to establish a mysterious atmosphere. This is close to what we want but we think we need to leave the camera still - here we are zooming and then jump cutting and there is just too much movement. In our real piece we will zoom then hold still.
