Filming Of Victims.
Today we continued filming for our opening sequence. Due to the loss of Sophie, due to other commitments, we only had three members of the group for the majority of the lesson. Firstly we captured the panning video we shot on Monday on the capturing software. This was done now, to save time later on in the process (due to the fact we are slightly behind) and to increase the efficiency of our group. We then got the camera and the tripod and headed out to Toton Lane where we filmed professional and amature shots, depending on the purposes of thee different shots.
We filmed me walking down a street and across a road. We did this twice, once using pan, long shot, from the other side of the road (giving the representation of an invisible camera) and one using amature mid, camera shot (representing the stalkers perception) used behind me as I was walking. We used different camera shot types to portray a wide range of camera angles in the opening sequence and portray different perceptions of view and make it interesting to watch.

These are location shots of the streets where I walked whilst being filmed.
We saw in the shot, as we were filming this police operation sign, which we thought would add to the opening sequence and indicate that a police investigation could occur in the film.
After we had filmed these scenes we started filming a scene in a playground which, we thought would add a sinister theme to the sequence and add to the childlike vulnerability. Unfortunately the weather was extremely sunny today, which meant that the atmosphere wasn't as we had hoped, however the sunshine may create an interesting jux-ta position between the clips and the incongruous opening titles and the overall context of the film.
The playground scene consisted of Tom swinging on swing. This shot was taken by the video camera on the tripod on the floor of the playground and the same shot again was taken from the higher slide platform, creating a low angle shot of Tom. We also took these shots using my digital camera on video mode, to create different camera visibilities and focuses, behind several trees of the same footage.
These images are location shots and the different camera angles used to capture tom on swing.
