Filming Connor on the Bridge

This footage of the cars under the bridge will overlay some of the other footage to show time passing which indicates how Connors drinking is repetitive and dangerous as life is passing him by as evident by the cars moving.

This footage was taken from the other side of the bridge to indicate distance from other people and Connor. We tried many different angles and shots in order to create the best shot. We experimented with the angles to determine which shot worked the best afterwards. This shot was the least successful as the vodka bottle isn't the main focus; the only thing successful about this shot is the cars visibly passing him below him.

This shot is from the back of him, while filming this we then zoomed in on him walking to show that we are tracking him. The footage doesn't work as well as you can see houses and not the cars however this works as it shows he is alone. The shot would work better with his face in it i feel as it would focus on his expression which would create the tone. I feel this shot would work better if the angle included the cars below him and featured the vodka bottle more.

This angle incorporates his face as he is walking towards the camera this is more intimate as the audience see him walking towards us. His facial expression works well as he looks at the cars below him which indicates he is aware that life is passing him by and that he has distanced himself from people.

I filmed this shot by following him with the camera so that the shot moved the same as our model. This tracked our model successfully. I used the angle to include the cars beneath him while focusing in on the bottle in his hand. You can't see his face but his legs, the vodka bottle and the cars is enough focuses which means the facial expression wasn't necessary. This tracking shot was difficult as i had to keep up with him without moving the camera and ruining the angle. I feel it is successful as it incorporates the main features while perfecting a well-known camera shot.

This shot could only be filmed once as we only had one vodka bottle. I set up the camera by guessing where the vodka bottle would land. However, it moved when hitting the floor which means the angle wasn't as good as we had hoped so we thought his footage wouldn’t work. However, when we edited it to speed it up, it turned out to be good footage to use in the video.
