Unit 18 Cinematography

We filmed our footage with cinematic quality equipment such as the DLSR Camera, and the iPhone 13, using these allowed us to get clear interesting shots that were shot at 24fps at HD quality. We purposely shot in areas that had loud lighting and good acoustics so that the video and audio quality was professional and up to standards of similar products; this proved to be difficult in some scenes. For example, when shooting the first scene of the film some of the shots we're too bright from the sun. This made our attempts at making a low angle shot very difficult as the sky behind the character was way too bright.

Films like blue story have similar scene in which main characters die in order to convey emotion and dramatise the growth in knife crime. Which we wanted to parody within our film. Similar to this, we used natural lighting techniques and used contrasted lighting by filming Ellis in shade and Toby in bright sunlight to show Binary opposition within the story.  Furthermore, when Ellis goes towards Toby's dead body, the shot is completely within shade, which ma...
