Test Footage Day

Today we have had our first opportunities to put our creative ideas into filming. Our first time to take our project into camera work.

We have also decided to add a few changes to our storyboard due to our previous storyboard's complexity and severe demand of certain environments. We realized these factors are too time consuming and unrealistic to achieve. Simple changes were to change the concept of waking in a bedroom, instead of relying on someone's home, we can now do some filming in College grounds. We also decided to add a few different elements and experiment on how to film our first few seconds of our project. For example our first scene is the main character waking and about to observe himself in the mirror so his morning routine will be shot as if the camera was the mirror.
To add to our effect of the main character seeing his reflection we are going to try to add a blur to the camera before the character splashes his face.This idea is not only functional but also practical because of the camera's position which will be next to a tap we do not want the equipment to get wet so we are going to cover the camera in a clear plastic bag. This will not only give the protection the equipment needs but could also give the blurred effect we are hoping to achieve.

- 1st shot : Medium close up staring into mirror getting ready
