Group: Wilderness Woods Trial Shoot




1. What skills did you use to produce the clip?

We used multiple skills such as a pan up at the beggining of the clip as an establishing shot, next we used a running handycam shot with heavy breathing to create enigma which creates a second line of action in our clip. Next we have a static shot of a character with a camera and it keep cutting back to the running handycam shot showing that character is unaware of the approaching danger.

2. What obstacles or problems do you incur?

Because of the snow we had to be extra careful when shooting and ensuring that we did not damage the equipment. Another obstacle that we faced was again the weather as the snow made it difficult for us to do some shots such as a tracking shot. The snow also caused an interference with the quality of sound because of which we added a sound effect to the final peice when editing it.

3. How could you improve your performance next time?

We aim to do this by keeping in mind the continuity of the line of action as in some sequences the character is shown with a bag and in some shots he is without a bag. Another way we can improve on our performance is by shooting in a suitable, controlled and more safe environment with the correct conditions to avoid any incidents such as an injury to an individual or the damage to the equipment that could have been caused by the snow.


4. Evaluate the outcome of the clip

Overall the wilderness woods reccie gave us an important idea of locations that could be used for the final peice. Secondly, the wilderness woods reccie helped us set a bar for our final peice as it allowed us to practice some of the shots that we intend on using in the opening. The clip has also helped us in making our editing techniques further better than before. The reccie overall has given our group enough practice to make sure that our opening acheives top marks.
