Practice Film

Although out brief is to produce a Short Film lasting approximately 5 minutes. We decided that it would be a good idea to have some practice shooting a film. We didn't want to create one lasting five minutes because this would take up a considerable amount of time, so we decided to do something similar to what we did last year in AS. We reproduced the start of the film 'Love Actually.' Its been several months since any of us have done some shooting so it really helped refresh our memories. 'Love Actually' is such an iconic film and although this is just the beginning, it really grabs the audience into wanting to watch more. When shooting this we got permission from both Norwich Airport and Chappelfield Shopping Centre. We forgot to bring a tripod on the day, hense why shots are not very steady, but as we were just practicing we didn't see this as a huge problem.

Our version;
Outcome: Doing this helped me to remember what is required when shooting a film, in terms of equipment, what makes a good opening to a fim as this will still be crucial when shooting our short films and that is important to be prepared and sort out locations/characters prior to shooting.
