Shot list analysis

On the first day of filming, we went down my road with my storyboard and started to plan out where I would set up the camera. I filmed a series of long shots of the girls walking for fillers if I needed more footage when editing.
I went high up onto a mound to get a high angle shot of the girls walking. While up on the mound I decided to go into the bushes and shoot some observational shots from inside the bush to. as its hand held it will look shaky and real life to add a spooky feel for the audience. I shot some panning and some static so I have a range to choose between.

I also shot one shot from the upstairs room in my house looking down at the girls, I had some of the paneling in the corner so the window was obvious.
I used a panning shot of them walking past the house. I also experimented with the zoom and angle. The next shot I did was some very low angle shots when the camera is placed on to the floor while the feet moved towards the camera. This showed the match on action of hem walking.
One of the most effective shots was when I walked backwards facing the camera to the girl’s feet as they walked up the road. I started by facing the camera to the feet and moved up the body. this shot was the first look the audience has of their face which introduces them therefore I kept this shot for a little longer in order for the audience to establish the characters and connect with them. I also made my actors have an uplifting conversation with laughter and chatting.
