Shooting - First Shots

At the weekend I captured some preliminary footage of some shots of the scenery from inside the car and what was essentially a practice run of the opening scene. Liam's house is an ideal shooting location as it very close and accessible, I think the fact that the video begins in Liam's bedroom adds to the narrative as it could be seen as any normal day for him. I feel as if the practice went well, however it opened up more ideas for a greater variety of shots instead of the ones I intended to use. For example, I played about with various angles of Liam coming down the stairs as oppose to just a low angle shot at the bottom of the stairs and fast tracking of his feet. The scenery shots, however, proved difficult as I filmed in the passenger seat of my mam's car, rather than Liam (as he is unable to drive, mentioned in previous post) thus allowing space for some continuity errors. Though I think I handled it well without causing too many errors. I feel as if these shots allowed for me to get a good idea of what I would like in the final edit.
