HM:Reflection on Shoot 2

1.  When and where was the shoot?

• The shoot was carried out on the 11th of January at Hamish's house.

2. What scenes were you focusing on?

• Linking end scene and dream kitchen sequence in which we aimed to portray the supernatural nature of tophat.

 3. What was your individual contribution to the shoot?

• Many shots including the panning steadicam longboard shot and the low angle and toaster shot. I also did a reaction shot as me as the psychiatrist. 

 4. To what extent did your storyboard affect your use of camera and framing?

• In our developed storyboard we aimed to use more close ups and reaction shots which we did and utilised effectively. We also included and developed some more scenes in which was not part of our storyboard.

5. What do you think worked particularly well?

• During our shoot, we experimented putting me on a Long board and having me in front of the actors filming behind me. Low angle still shots and close ups also worked particularly well.  

6. What were the challenges of this particular shoot?

• The challenges we found with this shoot was getting the tripod and camera set up in the correct position with which to film from. This was due to the nature of the house in not being able to frame the shots precisely as we wanted.
