Frayed Ends Filming Part 1

These are some of the clips of footage we have got from our first filming shoot. This was when we tried shooting the clips to use for Jodie, the less wealthy of our two protagonists.

As you can see in the video below, this shot is very wonky and that Jaimie, our actress, makes eye contact with the camera for the first second or so of filming. You cannot tell in this piece of film but in the other shots like this, Ella's hand was visible in the corner of the mirror, which no-one noticed during filming, but it made the bits of film unusable already.




This one here was my favourite shot as i felt that the positioning within the frame worked really well, the angle was different to others and it was straight, so it was a shame that we didn't get to use this.



Although the door was left open at the end of this clip, it was the best of the shots that we had. Also as you can see the windy conditions outside meant that the camera work was wobbly, especially towards the end. If we had stuck to this idea, I would have suggested redoing it anyway, even though it would have taken even more time, because I realise now that the match on action we could have done with this shot would have been really effective, and also the fact that the door stays open at the end of the shot doesn't make the scene very realistic. 



The pan we have used here is quite effective, but as with the previous shot it is a little bit wobbly. This would have been usable but we would have had to cut off the end because she stops running before the shot ends. 



These next couple of shots were successful and we enjoyed filming them. Of the two filming sessions we did, this one was definitely the most successful and was the one that we got the most footage from. 






I liked this clip, except for some reason her face and the background are slightly blurry, so again we would have had to have re-shot this one.



This one we have of the bus has a lot of unnecessary footage at the beginning where there is a lot of talking in the background because when we could hear the bus coming we didn't want to miss the footage for it. This is really really wobbly but it would have been cut so that didn't matter, but then when it did finally go pass Jaimie, the camera had stopped recording before it got fully out of shot anyway so that would have had to be re-done too. These were the best shots that we got out of this day, and we couldn't do the ones with her and Kathryn because the other actress wasn't available on this day. These could have been much better, so we would have had to re-shoot most of them in the end anyway, therefore we would have ended up doing at least another two days of filming, probably three if we had kept with this idea.
