Filming Practice



As we were undecided on certain filming aspects and the editing programme corel studio we filmed a running shot in the film so that we could play around with the effects such as slowing the run down and changing the colour of the shot. This allowed us to get used to the new editing software and find out which aspect of editing looked best so that when it comes to the final edit we know what looks good already.

Filming Locations







This is a short clip of some of our choices for filming locations. Each picture shows an area which part of our film will be filmed there if we choose that specific location rather than elsewhere as we have 2 or 3 choices for certain scenes and shots to choose from.
