Test Footage

Below is some test footage for our film opening. It ensured that we as a group had the same vision and it would make us aware of some potential challenges that we may face when it comes to the actual planned day of shooting. We have also evaluated the footage and identified all the areas we want to improve on, so we can prepare for them.

We were aware that comedies have particular conventions when it comes to the shots that are filmed. To get a better idea of what shots conform the best to the comedy films, we decided to film a range of different zooms and positioning of the frame and chose from them which one would be the most suitable.

We were also keen on having the main character standout in some way to make her dominant in the shot so it is clear to the audience that she is the main character and the story focuses on her. Therefore we put her in the centre of the frame but with the bench in the rule of thirds.
