Test Footage - Car

Today we did a few quick test shots of the potential beginning car scene to see if it could be done. We worked around having the car/action around the car stationary and worked through different shots the director had in mind to see if they were doable and also looked good. 

Me and the director teamed up to make a doable shot list, where the camera will be, and whether the shot is in the mirror or not. We got a few good shots using the mirrors, but getting them exactly right was time consuming. I think it paid off though. 

We learnt a lot from today, and we should be able to go ahead with the scene! However, we did have a few issues, such as lack of equipment (lighting today was terrible, so we need red heads! And the director now wants a slider shot) and lack of people (the director had to double up as both Step Mum and Dad!) We are hoping to try again tomorrow.
