Practice Filming

If the videos below fail to work please go to our youtube page.

Woods - practice filming

This clip shows the practice filming we did in the woods. We have decided that we need more light to show up the person. This will be in the part where she is running towards the light through the trees but we need light from behind so that she shows up and so does the pathway she is running through.

The biggest problem is getting a large enough light source into the woods.

To do this we will use the quadbikes lights and also an industrial light on a portable generator. These will be strategically placed to make the character visible while leaving appropriate shadow. 

High angle moving - practice filming

This clip shows the use of the forklift to create a high angle effect. This is not the setting it is going to be filmed in but this was the easiest place we had access to for filming. I think it worked well, however as said before we need a better lighting. This clip was taken mainly to establish whether it was going to be possible to create a moving effect. The other thing that I can see is that as the angle descends the light from the forklift lights is blocked so extra lighting will be needed here to make sure that the scene is still in light.

Lighting outside the caravan - practice filming

This clip shows the lighting outside of the caravan. As you can see the lighting was not that great and Grace did not show up in it. We tried in from different angles but this did not achieve a better effect. From this we have realised that we need more lights to make sure that the person within the sequence can be seen as well as the surroundings. Again the audio is just for interest.

Inside the caravan - practice filming

Here is a video clip from inside the caravan showing the lighting that there will be. It also shows the angle we are filming from. It will not be a mess when we come to use it as it is being cleared out soon. In the caravan is the place where the gels that we acquired will be most useful. Blue, yellow or red gels would be best but we will find out soon.  The audio over the top is just for interest.
