On day two of filming we were filming an establishing shot of the Hacker’s house. Our crew members all turned on time. To do this establishing shot we decided to use a crane shot. The equipment we used to do this was a crane, a monitoring kit and a camera.
We were all hoping to achieve a smooth and steady establishing shot of the Hacker’s House at the right speed.
What went well with this shot was we filmed a steady and smooth crane shot of the house with no wobbles.
The issues that occurred were sometimes when we were all having a go at attempting these establishing using the crane was that we lifted the crane up too fast and too slow at times.
Another issue that occurred was that our monitoring kit had no charge in it so we were unable to use this equipment to view our shot as were filming it at the same time. This unfortunately slowed down the whole process, and we were tight on time.
Later on during the day we now ready to film another scene this time just doing a still shot using a tripod and camera. This was to film a close up shot of our Mystery Man showing his face close up.
What went well with this shot was that we were able to film him speaking.
The only issues that occurred during this were that sometimes our Mystery Man actor had forgotten his lines. We overcame this issue as we gave our actor time to go over his lines so he was then able to say lines by memory.
