Hard Candy Inspired Shot
We needed some footage to use to overlay our typography onto
at the end of our trailer. This meant it needed to be simple and relatively
plain. After watching the ‘Hard Candy Trailer’ we were inspired to recreate the
shot of the female character as she stood facing a black red wall. We thought
this fitted in well with our psychological genre, as it is unusual. We
positioned the camera for a mid shot, facing a blank white wall. Our actor
stood facing the wall and we left the camera filming while we discussed
different positions and actions he should perform. For some of the footage he
stood facing the wall as planned, however, there is also some footage as he
stands naturally, fidgeting and waiting for us to decide on a suitable shot.
Although this was originally sections we would cut, it could be effective
showing him facing a wall and looking over his shoulder, talking to himself or
tapping on the wall as it makes his character seem unusual and mysterious. We
were satisfied with the outcome of this shoot and have plenty of footage for
the image we want to create with the typography.
‘Walking Away’
We wished to feel our trailer out with short slips and quick
cuts, therefore we wanted to film unusual and creative elements of footage to
fill in spaces. We set the camera up on the floor, at a low angle shot, and
allowed the actor to step over the camera and walk away. This shot was interesting
and shows variety within our use of camera angles. After shooting it several
times, we have a final outcome that we are pleased with and the filming to day
was very successful overall.
