Test Shots - Camera Techniques

Here are some test shots the we did to try and see if we can do them and if we can add them to our blog.


Pull Focus: we did this to reveal something in the background that is important within the film such as a murder weapon. We found this easy after we knew how to do it and we did multiple shots to perfect it.


Here is an example of the shot:


Tracking Shot: we did this to create what is being filmed have the audiences attention and make them look at every detail so they know exactly what is happening:


Here is an example of the shot:


Whip Pan: we chose to do this to show our skill and to gain experience, also it helps us if we found it to be a good shot and we might use it in our opening sequence if we want to.


Here is an example of the shot:


Trombone shot: we chose this because we thought it is effective and good to put in our sequence. Also, because we don't see many of them in films we thought it would be good to stand out from others and make the audience remember it. 


Here is an example of the shot:


Here is our attempt:
We did different shots which we thought would suit best into our opening sequence and also we tried to recreate some of the shots to show our abilities. We chose to do more close-ups because we included these the most into our opening sequence to show the mystery of the shot and wanting the audience to find out more.
