Time: 11:00am-12:00pm
Moments filmed: Opening
Personnel needed: Matthew Herriott (Camera/director), Evie Brookes-Payne (Producer/Mya Brown)
Props: Family Photo
Equipment: Camera, Tripod
The first shot for today would be the shot which we will use to open up our trailer, in which Mya is seen in her living room presumably talking to her mother, Silvia. The focus in this shot however, as opposed to being on the conversation between those two characters is on a photo of Mya when she was a small child and this illustrates that there was a time in Mya's life when everything was normal, safe and happy.
In order to pull this particular shot off - as we would need a camera which allows the user to set the focus manually - would require the use of a different camera to the one that we used for the rest of the filming. The camera that we used (on the left in the picture) was much bigger and harder to handle than the standard one that we have used for the rest of our filming and so required more practice but we were able to work out how to create the effect that we wanted (and a very beautiful effect it was indeed).
Unlike some of the other shots that we have taken throughout the production of the trailer, this one was very different in style because it didn't have any set moments in which something would physically happen, this was more of an establishing shot to contrast with what was to come next as well as to effect an origin point in Silvia's dialogue (though she is not explicitly shown here) so that the rest of her speech would make more sense.
