PLANNING - Practice shots(for still filming/bus stop location)

We went out and did some practice filming to ensure our artist felt comfortable in front of the camera and also to get an idea of how some of our shots may look. Doing this allowed for us to notice any easily made mistake so we don't mess up in the real thing


After watching back our first attempt we realised we weren't happy with the framing. We should have placed the camera differently so we didn't get in the side of the bus stop as it creates the illusion of an off centre frame. Also, we should have used a tripod for this part of filming

We tried this as development of the first attempt. We cropped out the side of the bus stop making it more of a mid shot. Due to the fact we weren't using a tripod the filming is a bit shakey and we don't want this for this base track. Also, the framing is slightly bent to one side. This is something we will be keeping an eye on to avoid in the future

We tried this angle out to see if we liked it not for a base track but for a single shot. We were quite pleased with this appearence and may use it in the real thing

In our storyboard and animatic we have a side profile view of the artist at the bus stop so we wanted to try it out to see how it looks and if we like it. This one is from a slight angle and we weren't 100% with it

Instead we tried it from a direct side view. We were worried that we would be seen in the reflection of the glass however this didn't seem to be much of a problem
