Day 6 Evaluation

• Day 6's filming was for the shots of Harry and Tara before they disappear.
•  As we'd struggled to organise a time for both Harry and Tara to film in Hextable, we decided to change our location to a local woods in Bexley. This meant we could travel from school to save time.

Master shot: a long shot of Harry and Tara's characters walking along the river. 

• Because the area was muddy, Tara struggled to walk naturally. Therefore we both the action further over where the ground was more solid.
• We tried the shot several times to ensure the actors were believeable as boyfriend and girlfriend and his created the right atmosphere i.e. smiling, holding hands

Tracking shot: Harry walking and turning around to see Tara has disappeared

• We tried this various times with me and Amy Chenzo filming to ensure Harry was kept in frame and the camera turned at the right angle to be effective and believable.
• On occasions, Harry walked to quick so we changed ours and his pace as well as how many steps he walked before we recorded the shot

Long shot: from across the river as Tara stops to tie her shoelace

• We shot this last as it required us to be on the other side of the river
• We place the camera in different positions between trees so we could see branches. This hints at a POV shot from something hiding watching them
• We tried this several times to make the actors look natural and be in frame

I think this was the best filming day as we were efficient, in a good impromptu location and the shots we took were extremely effective.
