We tried practicing a one whole shot that is inspired by 1917. We realised through this that timing is going to be really important but also holding the camera very steady so that we get nice smooth shots; especially when moving angles. During these shots I was talking Samuel through what those different angles would be and the timing at which he would move. These are the shots we got on film night. We did a few practice shots at our initial location but turned out super grainy due to low lighting. We played around with the camera for a bit but there was still too much grain. It was useful though as practice runs to get Samuel used to the camera movements and the actors used to their roles and what they would be doing. We then went to our second location which had much greater lighting and left us with much clearer and greater quality. This is a practice shot we got before we did any real shots. Once again we were walking through to make sure everyone was on the same page.
Feedback: Good eerie feel sound effects/music is good when Harry is grabbed possibly a bit more music in the background? sound bleed for the song is cool but could be smoother (transition effect?) title card looks cool glitches are well placed Starting with silence is a missed opportunity I feel, unless that silence is really deliberate. Your opening could have a foreboding / sinister note held that bleeds over from the logo to really set atmosphere / tone. You only have 2 mins! Make every sec count. I wonder if your film doesn’t feel like it needs some more establishing shots. Doesn’t have to be conventional wide/ long shots but more just random shots that help set the scene and place the audience in the picture of where the scene is set. You can have opening credits come up in after effect style that suits the look / feel, over these shots? Look at trying out some other suspense-filled, more creepy sound tracks. Just try a few options and make sure you have the best v...
