One Shot Film, Practice.

Yesterday we began preparations for our practice one shot film, we were given instruction that the film could have to been made with the camera being static and that we were allowed only 1 move. Chris split us into group and we went out to choose our location. We had two options either the arboretum or the graveyard, we decided to go with the graveyard and began thinking of ideas, and few that floated about where either showing the life and death of someone. a chase scene through the graveyard, or the idea that we eventually settled on have the camera facing down a path and having our main character walking towards the camera and people running from the cameras pov, a sort of judgement day scenario, our main character would be oblivious to the goings on around him, e.g. screams and at one point someone will run towards him and try warn him but he just shuns them away. having come up with some initial ideas we met up the next day a hour early and put the finishing touches to our ideas.
              Having all our ideas down and a good idea of what we wanted to do we set out with camera and filmed our scene, we recruited some people from another group so that we could have more people fleeing in the film, we found a suitable location waited for no one to be around and began filming, before hand we made sure everyone knew what they were doing and which direction to run in, we had to make sure each person also didn't stop running until they were out of shot to make it look realistic, Harry played the main role and slowly walked towards the camera ignoring the people around him, before hand we also filled in a risk assessment to make sure the area was safe. we were lucky enough that nothing went wrong and we completed our film in 1 take, and it received a good reception from Deborah and the other groups, it was a good taster into what the actually project will be like and we are now in the process with coming up ideas for our actual film.
