Skills Audit: Filming

In order to create our short thriller clips, we filmed for approximately three days. We used a range of shots such as:

Extreme close up- for example, the shots when making breakfast.

High angled shots- for example, when the protagonist is running down the canal.

Ground shots- for example, the shot of the protagonists feet running.

Medium close up- for example, when the protagonist is getting out of bed.

Over the shoulder shots- for example when the protagonist is making tea.

Low angled shots- for example, when the protagonist opens her wardrobe.

Whilst filming, we mainly used the tripod to keep the shot still and at a constant level. However, we also used the camera hand held when the protagonist is running down the canal to create a panic effect.
