Filming the 'Uploading' Scenes

Today, we continued our filming. however, only Raza and I were filming in our free period as both Hina amd Sameiria had lessons.

I recorded using a range of shots. CU, XCU, Birds eye veiw shot etc.

I firstly recorded Raza (Protagonist) entering the empty computer lab, to edit the film he recorded in the park. He walks in, and walks past the camera while it is panning in his direction, here we used a midshot.

Later, I recorded some over-the-shoulder shots, as Raza was holding up the camera to veiw the footage that was captured. Here, I zoomed in slowly over his shoulder until the 'camera's screen' filled the whole veiw.  This gives the effect as if the audience is survailancing the main charecter when the story starts to unfold.

I also recorded Raza sitting facing the computer, but this was shot from the side although the scene was effectively the same, in this shot Raza was in veiw and also the row of computers to give a sense of space and also highlighted that he is on his own and there is something private and secretive going on.

I used an XCU, while Raza was using the mouse on the computer, this was to connote some feeling of mystery and something ambigous, which will in turn get the audience thinking which is our aim as our trailer is supposed to be from an independant movie.

To broaden our range of shots, it was my idea to record Raza whilst in Birds-eye-veiw, I did this by attaching the camera to the tripod, with the legs closed as I was standing on a chair to get some height, I think this gave my group a more varied range of shots and more choices as we start editing all of the footage recorded.
