Unedited footage.

As cringe worthy as it may have been to post this on my very own blog, seeing as I am the clumsy one running, tripping and falling repeatedly over in these unedited shots. I feel It is important to show the viewer the making of our eventually (I feel) successful film. Also I suppose it does gives us something to laugh at.

All these different takes proves we tried filming from a variety of angles, we discovered the best position and angle for our film through experimenting, although it took alot of time I think it definatley shows in the quality of our finished edit version. In the early practice runs I run away from the camera which we felt didn't work well enough. We thought that positioning the characters further back gives a sense of hidden identity which we had intended, especially with the brightness of the sunrise casting shadows over our figures. Also If I had fallen in the distance I would have been hidden by the thick layer of plants that covered most of the hillside, it proved more successful to fall only a few metres from the camera where I would be highly visible.
Having the two characters moving directly towards the camera gives the film more professional feel as it is steady and the attention of the audience can remain solely on the movement of the two figures.
