Test shots

   


The short clip uploaded above is a series of practiced test shots done by our group. 
By the use of final cut we separated the test shots and sequenced them together in order to produce this 30 second clip. Secondly we then followed a sheet of simple instructions on how to convert our test shots into a You tube video, but encountered difficulties located the video so we directly uploaded it from our desktop file.

The test shots were filmed at the initial location of Marnies apartment. We thought it was a significant process to practice in order to perfect our initial production. We also agreed that by having as many different types of shots will allow us to play around with the editing and enable us to add as many different shot types within it. By filming a variety of shots we are able to make it more visually appealing and allow the audience to understand what we are trying to portray.

By having a variety of shot enables us to capture different angles of our film and see what works best for each scene.

By using final cut we were able to edit and put together our test shots, enabling us organise and analyse what would work best within each scene. The way we have combined it makes it easier for viewers to understand what we are trying to achieve within our sequence. Next we were given a set of instructions to follow that would help us upload our short clip onto Blogger along with the rest of our work.
We believe our test shots would be effective as it gives the audience an insight into what is in store during the sequence without giving too much away.
Test shots allow both us and the audience to assess whether certain shots would work within certain scenes, enabling us to create different enigmas at different points.

While conducting test shots for the sequence we stumbled across different issues that we faced making us aware of thing we would have to avoid while filming the final production. Examples of this would be..
- How to best deal with hand held filming without unnecessary movement or zooming.
- finding the right camera angles
- Continuity
- 180* rule
- Control of external sound.
by taking all of the above into consideration, it will support us to avoid any mistakes or errors that might occur and that have come to our attention while producing the tests shot.
