First Attempts at Filming.

We began to start shooting our opening sequence within the past few days. The first shot we intended to have a point of view shot from our protagonist, walking through the corridoor. During his walk, we aimed to have other students giving him dirty looks. Followed by this, Clarke is distracted by an attractive student walking past and 'checks her out'.

We finalised in filming this shot around about five times, each time having trouble with the timing and smoothness of the overall shot. In our editing stage, we soon realised that the cut between two of our shots was too 'abrupt', therefore we will have to, again, refilm this shot, along with another shot (or title) to go inbetween the two shots.

This picture shows how we were attempted to edit the shot. As half of the footage we wished to use was in the widescreen setting, the the other half was not, we attempted to crop the shot in order to make the two shots the same aspect ratio. Cropping the shot, however, we feel was too time consuming and we believe that our time could be used much more wisely by just refilming the shot altogether.

The video shown below shows our first attempt at filming the first shot, the only piece of this filming that we felt satisfied with was the clip when Clarke, from his point of view, 'checks out' the girl walking down the corridoor. Although we attempted to cut this into another sequence that went better, the clips still seemed abrupt therefore did not work.
