In order to have a greater understanding of how filming works, myself and my group decided to trial a couple of locations with the same scene from the storyboard to compare how they would look. I also thought it would be a good idea to be able to know what to expect when it comes to filming the trailer itself.
This first shot was taken at the initial location that we were going to use as the entrance of the orphanage. Christal used a tripod to position the camera and have it pan/track me as I walked towards the entrance. Whilst we were fond of the location, we found it hard to find a position that wouldn't be obstructed by the black metal railings and found it hard to maneuver the tripod as it was balancing on a raised part of concrete.
We were less prepared for this shot as we came across it by chance meaning we wasn't fully equip to shoot the scene how we would have liked to. The shakiness of the camera would be removed were we to have had a tripod with us, and we might have been able to incorporate a pan/zoom in this scene also. We did however prefer this location to the previous one; it was much more open and looked more authentic in relation to it looking like the doors of an orphanage. Myself and my group intend on returning to this location again and most probably shooting the actual scene here too.
