Location trial number 2. (videos)

On the 1st of October I was doing some primary research, learning how to make lens flare in the videos.




This is the overview of the actual location I have chosen to use in my video (not through the whole video). As I think I am going to use some establishing shots like this in my video too, just to show how empty it is around, showing the freedom of the character, enjoying being on their own, just in their litter world.





Now this is just simply trying the over the shoulder shot with the lens flare. However I did it wrong, as the actor was too tall for this, especially considering the fact that the actor who will be filmed here will be a 3 year old toddler. Although I am happy I tried this pano shot, however I know I will use more of the shaky camera, more blurred shots with my cast, as it connotes how time is passing by, and happiness with joy, also using the laugh of the child, showing the smiles.




Again the use of this kind of shots, just showing the environment. The sun creates a very warm Autumn evening feeling, which is perfect for my video, even though in the reality it was freezing. Shots over the bushes lets me to show what kind of season it is (brown leaves, etc), moreover creating lens flare but the camera is not blinded of the direct sun, therefore TA still can see the nature around.


This is another establishing shot, showing the nature and the city behind it. As if this location was a get away for the main character, even though they are clearly in the mid of the city. A pretty shaky camera, therefore doesn't look very professional, lets the TA familiarize themselves with the characters when using the shaking camera, as it looks like they are taking the video themselves.




This is the last video I took. Directly the establishing shot of the city, used just to show how big is the city and how small is the character, how lonely it can be,
