wed, 25.03.09 first day of filming!



I think todays filming went really well, although there were restrictions due to the weather, I'm glad that we chose to shoot the rest of the "car chase" when we did, just because we can't film one shot doesn't mean we can't film another section to keep the ball rolling.

I'm looking forward to filming close up "wheel-shots" and getting the extra shots of the "hands on steering wheel" ATTENTION TO DETAIL KIDS!

Also I really liked the impromptue idea of shooting the film from the POV of both cars, initially we were just going to shoot the film from the side view mirror and getting both car shots and filming not only from the side view mirror but from the POV of the chaser, was exciting and a fun, not to mention the extra footage which will fit in nicely with the montage of clips of the whole car chase!
I think the next step will be just getting it perfect, all the little shots for example: switching the engine on, the close up wheel spin shots, the close up of the car skidding through the puddles which I thought was a great idea Sam!! It will look very effective.
Oh now I come to mention it I also think a shot of what Josh can see in this rear view mirror.- I'll just film from the back window of his car could be effective... a refective POV shot of what Josh can see.
I've started work on the fake models alothough its alot tougher than I thought it would be! PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!
welldone guys, good job today!

  1. i agree, i felt the filming went really well and that we attempted alot of ideas. altough from logging the shots not all of them worked but it was better to have tried and failed than not to have tried at all.
