Train Scene

Over the weekend myself, Luke and Aman went out to Uxbridge station to film a part of our opening sequence. The process was efficient for the majority of the time and was a smooth process. However we did face a couple of issues. The first being that, we realised that you are not able to film in the station, unless you have permission from the London Underground. However we overcame this problem swiftly as we had alternative shots to use. the sec on minor problem that we faced was that during the filming process, a lot of the general public walked in front of the camera, vaguely interrupting the scene.

Over the last couple of days we have played back our footage and found many improvements.

First and foremost, though when you look at the shot normally, you cannot notice the camera shaking, however once looked at in detail, there is a visible shake in the camera. This means that the shots need to be re-shot as a shaky camera would significantly lower our grade. Though a re shoot is required, I believe that the first shot was extremely helpful, because we bought our shots to life and saw that if executed correctly, they will work well.

Secondly the pan that was used was not quite up to scratch as instead of following the characters actions, it was slightly behind. The pan shot needs to start and finish with the character in the middle of the shot. In order to achieve this myself and the character I am filming need to have some sort of mark that needs to be followed- this will allow synchronisation to be as precise as possible. Making the pan shot clear cut.
