Filming (James and Harry)

On our second day of filming, me and Harry decided to stay behind and film a few extra shots.

As we were limited to what we could do we decided to film mostly jogging clips and nature clips. We took time and found different ways of filming the shots to create different efffects. For example, instead of having a simple panning/tracking shot for when I was jogging up the road, we decided to try keeping the camera static and using a zoom function instead. We did the same shot twice using both a zoom in and a zoom out.

We then copied a jogging shot that we had filmed on our first day of filming, only this time having the camera at a slightly lower height and extending the time length of the shot. This allowed us to cut between the two shots when editing the footage and create a more dramatic effect.

We also decided to use alot of hand held camera to make it seem as if the shot was from a first person perspective. This is a common camera effect used in gangster films as it implies that someone is "watching".

After filming the jogging and "watching" scenes, we decided to get a few tracking nature shots. These will be used to create a relaxed atmosphere for the start of our trailer, they will help to portray a natural and relaxed mood for the audience.
