Filming scene 2

These are some screenshots that I took from my footage of scene 2 in the woods. It was a relatively straight forward one camera shoot, but I spent a lot of time trying to think about how to create continuity with Jake's movement in the scene. I stuck to my storyboard as much as I could, but in the end I changed a few shots that I thought were necessary and added some in that I felt had to be included. I feel that it is better to have too much footage when going into the editing process than not enough. Making sure the theme flowed smoothly was time consuming, but worth it in the end, as I think the shots that I have chosen below have good framing, such as following the rule of thirds to create interesting composition.

 This scene was simply done with a one camera shoot, because it is as if the Elder is narrating over what is happening, so I didn't really need two cameras at the same time. For other scenes such as the hospital one, I need two camera to consistently create a good sense of continuity through fast paced dialogue between characters. I also took a few nature and weather shots incase I needed to take the sound of the clips and lay them into the background to make the dialogue less jumpy and stand out in the editing process.

I think that this is a good start to filming my film, and if the rest of the scenes that I shoot go as well as this, then I think that this film will be successful!
