Coop Shots from above


This was one of the first shots that we did with Bella, and it was one of the first ideas that we had altogether. The first few shots are of us zooming in to Bella and asking her to whip her hair and head around to look straight down the camera. We also had the idea of following down the church to give an idea of height from the top of the building. This is one of my favourite shots from this location, as I think it establishes the shot very well. I also thinks it shows how high up we are on top of the building, which makes it look even more impressive. We took a couple of takes for this to ensure that it was succesful and we wouldn't have to redo it. We also then zoom into Bella and ask her to spin her head around to do the same effect as before.

Problems and solutions:
- The floor was uneven so we needed to create a platform to combat this.
- The time when we decided to film this the weather was quite windy, which often blew Bellas hair out of her cape, which then ruined the shot, so we tucked it inside her cape to avoid this.
- Also, we didn't think about how the time when we filmed would effect how many people below there were, so it didn't look very busy which ruined the dramatic effect. We could try reshooting this scene at rush hour so as to create more drama.
