The Early Stages of Filming

Once we had completed our storyboard and began researching archive footage, after half term we began the filming process, experimenting with shots and contrasting angles. We used one of the group members cars to be able to capture the essence of speeding, of which we then focused on close-ups and mid-shots of the car, trying to establish the best possible angle in order to conform to the coventions of a documentary. We then discussed as a group that it would be more appropriate to use and experiment with more sophisticated shots, for instance, staying away from the typical shaky camera shots and allow other more interesting shots to be used.
