MJ: Wilderness Wood Location Reccie

On the 6th February, 2013, we went on a location reccie to Wilderness Woods, in Sussex, to test out equipment and our ability to work as a team.
We took this as a chance to make a short music video with a twist ending, here's the final result:

 

• During production we used a Nikon D5100, in which we used the low-key setting to create a darker feel during the short.
• We aimed to use as many camera techniques as possible, such as a worm's eye view, a pan, an extreme long shot and some tracking shots.
• In post-production we added the soundtrack of Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, a track which had been played during filming so I could lip-sync along to it.
• We also added the fuzzy effect onto one shot, to give a greater feeling of the nausea the character feels, in the run up to the song's drop.
• The sound of the vampire attack and narration were all recorded and added right at the end of production, as were the titles.

 

• During this reccie we found that, as a group, we functioned well, coming together with our ideas and viewpoints on how we should do things.
• The reccie also taught us about which camera shots were going to be easy for us, and which were going to prove much harder for our team.
