Establishing Shots
On our original story board we had planed to film our establishing shots outside but due to time restrictions and poor weather we decided to cut that sequence and move it inside instead. Now we have filmed them I am glad we did this as I feel they go with the rest of the film wheat the original ones may not have.
The shots are all of Elliott's den and they introduce the audience to his doctor who figure collection and his solar system model. After trying a few shot types we found that pans look the best as plain static shots couldn't cover as much of the room so weren't as interesting. The only problem we came across whilst filming these shots was lighting as Elliot has not ended the room yet so the main light had to be off. To combat this we used the flash light in the iPhone. Its cold silver light gave the effect of a moonlight glow and made the metallic paintwork on the figures stand out, the light is also easily distinguishable from the main light as that is vey warm toned, so gives a much different effect.
