First Test Shoot 26.01.03

Today we went out on our first test shoot/location scout to Primrose Hill. The aims of the day were:

  • To rehearse the sequence in the space
  • To work out any possible restrictions
  • To test our shot list and figure out any things that would not work, in terms of continuity, spacial limitations and shot framing





As the story in our opening sequence begins with our protagonist, Lila, vlogging her first experience of seeing the sun rise in London, we decided to travel out to Primrose Hill, where we could see the London skyline as the sun rose above it. Here are some photos of the location and also some stills of the shot types/framing we intend to use when Lila is watching the sunrise. 


                           



We also tried to film some of the shots we had planned in the first draft of our shot list, in order to determine whether they would fit the mood of the sequence and whether the whole opening sequence would flow seamlessly.

Video one- Lila walking down the hill to meet her friends

Video two- A point-of-view shot of Lila's feet as she walks down the hill

Video three- The view from the top of the hill, shown in the first panning shot and other over-the-shoulder shots during our opening sequence
