Film Opening Research Camera Features

Hi blog! Keeping my blog posts for the week in a similar pattern, today we focused on camera features. If we do keep the idea of the film opening, we discussed some of the camera features we should do when filming. We plan on borrowing a camera from Beacon TV, in order to ensure our project is amazing. The way we cut the scene is essential, and we want to do it in the best ways possible.

Throughout the scene, we want to keep all the cuts on movement. This really helps to keep the cuts low-key, and make sure that they are not noticeable. By doing this, we can ensure the audience is not distracted and that the piece flows smoothly. We do not want the cuts to be choppy, unless we show a running scene in the woods. Other than that, we want the cuts to flow well.

Next off, we want to film a lot of the shots from either high or low angles. As she buries the body, we want to film the scene high. This would help to establish the surroundings off the area, and we think it could be filmed through maybe a drone? We also want to shoot some from low angles, to make our actor look powerful and dominant. That would help to develop her character as a stalker, making her seem dominant and obsessive. We do not want to have a lot of cuts, but instead focus on doing long shots and filming the scene from start to finish.

In the flashback, if we do the idea of a collection of clips from the guy, we want to do close ups. That way, the scenes are focused completely on him. It will most likely be in slow motion, providing emphasis to his features. The voice over will explain the clips, but using close ups will be the best method to having this be affective.

These are our baseline ideas for the clips. While I am sure they will change, this is the baseline for the film opening scenes.
