Testing Our Idea

This is a short clip of us testing the idea of shooting from a first person perspective.  Doing this was helpful for us as we have realised that the concept of shooting in first person would work well for our idea, and we also learnt which techniques we would need to use in order to make this look professional and effective. In this test clip, we shot with a basic camera which was held in the right hand of the actor. This means that a lot of the footage is quite shaky, especially as the actor was walking whilst filming. For our final production, we have managed to arrange to use a high end Go-Pro camera, which is often used in the sports filming industry as it reduces shake and is able to withstand a fair amount of impact. This camera, aside from the better footage it produces, has a fish eye lens attachment, which creates a really good looking effect, making our film more interesting.
