Wednesday, 29th February
In Wednesday's lesson, we tied up all the loose ends that needed doing before filming could begin. We then had enough time to sort out our 'dolly'. We would need this to shoot the pan around the government agent before he leaves his 'secret information' on it. The dolly would eliminate any bumps or shakiness that would be created if we filmed it hand-held. We decided to keep it simple and use a wheely-chair that we could mount the camera on and push it round the agent.
At first, we put the camera, which was on a tripod, onto the chair. However, the tripod did not sit flat on the chair and so a wobbly image was still produced. This led us to put the camera directly on the chair, however the camera was too low. Finally, we found that the best way to do it was to sit someone on the chair and physically push them around. This eradicated shakiness and bumps while creating a smooth panning shot.
