In today's lesson our group went out to practise the camera shots and movements, without me as I was absent due to illness. They did this in order to practise the type of shots and movements we were going to use in the film opening. The main prop in our film is Elizabeth the doll, therefore Connie and Amber used her to film. They struggled to find a decent location to film in however, they then decided that as we were going to film in a park they would use the tree house in the school grounds as this may act as an attraction with a park. They told me about the different camera shots they tried for example panning up and down and from right to left. They tried a tracking shot of the woman as she walks in to the tree house to interact with the doll to show how obsessive she is and to show her longing for a little girl. Then there was a point of view shot of the woman looking through the fence trying to see if anyone was watching her, this proves that she does not want people to know of her mental problems.
After doing this experiment, it was decided that we would use a dolly when doing the real filming as some of the shots were a little shaky and we felt this would be the most effective way to get the best out of it.
