The Video! - Filming storyline shots

When doing the research into our storyline shots we made many storyboards and sketches as to the specific shots we desired for the best outcome (see planning). All of this helped us to know exactly what we were after in relation to the specific locations and angles to the shots we were taking. Our ideas consisted of:

  • An urban tunnel shot, including the protagonist (myself) being filmed from many different angles walking down the tunnel after beginning with my back to the wall. This shot is going to be cut into many different angles, each shot only lasting maximum of 1 seconds - this will be achieved through editing.
  • A shot of conflict between myself and Neelesh in Canford Heath. This will be a cut shot once again using the driving away in a car, after a couple of short length shots showing the dispute between us as actors within the shot.
  • A variety of shots at Moors Valley; these will include pans, cut shots, short length features and also close ups, all of which will add to the telling of the story within our video
  • The finishing shot will be in the centre of a road, with both myself and Neelesh walking away from each other leaving the shot. This is a shot used in many films and music videos alike as it finishes a storyline off well.
We went out on a variety of days to film our storyline shots, this was because of weather problems and also technical difficulties including the cameras running out of battery on multiple occasions! We kept to our planning and research into the shots we desired and recreated them fantastically. The outcomes of our storyline shots came out as intended and should be easily editable to create the desired effect.
