Hurtwood house 13: Practice shoot

We did a mock shoot of our thriller with a fake setting, fake props and fake actors.

We used Beth as our female killer and I played the victim. We shot our thriller in Simons class and we used tables as a bed for me to lay on. We then also used black tape to tie my hands together and to use to cover my mouth so no sounds could be made by me when I was being choked. We then used a belt as the weapon. Along with Matts gloves.

We took: Close up shots, wide shots, low angle shots, high angle shots, tracking shots and medium shots just to prepare and to know which shots we are going to focus on the most for when we want to do our editing.

It was a difficult task because we had not realised that we did not have a long enough story line to start shooting so our mock thriller was relatively short. But after a while we came to conclusion what shots we would use and on who we were going to use those shots on.

Then we finally realised what we needed to do then we planned and reshot our thriller sequence and it was not as difficult but this time we did it without the use of tape.

These are the shots we used and are planning on using on our final shoot.
