On Thursday 17 January, we started our shooting for our trailer. Since we were going to use a car for our trailer, Ainsley is the only member of our group that drives, he brought his car in and we decided to do some shots from the car as a trolley shot. We have many shots such as the camera being placed on the dashboard, shots from our side view mirror, and pan shots of the car driving past.
One of the best shots we captured was a pan of the police, we drove past the police with the camera in the side mirror and capture a van and a few officers in uniform. We thought this would be a vital shot for our trailer as it sets the tone that there will be conflict, plus it is a stereotype in urban films for there to be police either in the trailer or in the film.
A few problems we faced was the traffic was quite slow so a lot of our footage did get kinda un-interesting and boring. However, the main problem we faced that day was that during our driving, the road got bumpy with pot holes and speed bumps, so many part of the footage is very shaky and that is something that is frowned upon in the marking criteria. However, the group will try to sort something out, we might have to go out and film again. We were also thinking of filming at night as it will also be more effective as many more teenagers are out in the evening and would be more connecting to our demographic.
