Filming

Filmed my first piece of footage today for my preliminary task :) wishing I hadn’t chosen a war film as it is very hard to recreate but oh well. I’ve decided to keep it fairly simple and have footage of an individual dressed in soldiers attire shooting around with a close up on his face. I also experimented with a few mid shots too just for variety so I can see how it looks when I come to edit the piece. I intend for the footage to be silent and for eerie music and sound effects played over the top whilst a voice over is heard from the individuals point of view. I hope to blend the footage of the individual with some footage created from an Xbox game – Call of Duty. I would like to have the two on screen at the same time so in effect it gives two perspectives and shows the impact of war time. I have all the sounds I need including bullets, bombs, planes and screams. I would also like to incorporate a still image of a group of troops with the individuals face edited in for realism. Fingers crossed it all goes to plan :)
