Dummy filming

We acknowledged many problems upon creating the dummy scenes and now have an idea of what problems we will face when filming the real thing, the first thing we had noticed upon using the cameras was the traffic and also pedestrians coming through the street which deterred us from using the high street as a location for the film as our theme is post apocalyptic therefore no other people should be around us.

We also noticed that we mainly used long shots when filming bar the one of the puddle, when doing the real thing it would better to include some other types of shots such as close ups as after a while it becomes to repetitive using the same angle over and over again, i feel as though we could of done maybe an over the shoulder shot when Max and I meet for the first time. This could be quite effective.

As well as noticing faults when filming we also found some new shots that we never though of using in the first place, the main one being of a puddle in the street where I walk over it looking for survivors and then we see Max's reflection in the water with just his feet in the shot, we found this to be really eery and effective making the audience feel uneasy.

These two factors showed us how vital dummy filming is upon making a film highlighting both the faults and also positives that come out of it
