Principal Photography rushes

The bulk of the footage was shot on the large, more professional camera (the higher quality of the image will give the second half of the video the look that I'm looking for), whilst a smaller handheld camera was used to and get the more close up, claustrophobic shots that the video called (I came to this conclusion after some experimentation with the larger camera, and found that it is a lot easier to achieve the desired effect with a lighter camera). Also, the lower quality of the video will fit in with the fourth generation video aesthetic that I'm trying to achieve. The only problem with the footage (and this affects both sets) is the instability of the camera, though I did try and counter this whilst filming by getting as much coverage as possible to at least get some usable footage, and I could try and hide it through only using bits that are good (a benefit from really over shooting) and by trying to obscure the shakiness with visual effects in post-production.


The bulk of the first half of the footage above is usable (with some bits being too shaky, or resembled a modern location so can't be used), however the second half isn't as useful as that day's production fell apart due to the principal location being unfit for use (it became a crime scene), the result meant that we tried to recreate the intended effect in a local area, which didn't work out at all; in an attempt to try and salvage some thing I tried experimenting with some extremely shaky close ups which could possibly be used, though the second half will need re shooting.
The footage from this camera will be used the most (with the handheld being used as supplementary), overall I'm happy with the way a lot of the footage from this camera turned out, especially the lighting in the night shoots which matches the tone that I was going for exactly. Though, like the handheld footage, quite a bit of it is on the shaky side, but it is usable (even some of the beginning bits, which were used as practice to an extent, is usable in portions). I tried to make sure that whilst in production I got as much coverage as possible to give me as many options as possible in the edit, along with doing as many takes as possible to be sure that there was at least one usable version of the shot taken; although in certain places I didn't get as many takes I would've liked, though this was more down to environmental factors, like when we were filming around the bus interchange, given the equipment we were carrying, the time of night we were filming at and the fact that there were a large group of youths hanging around near to where we were filming (who are audible at certain points during the footage above) made us less than keen to re-shoot certain shots (fearing the safety of the equipment).

There are some shots that need filming, this is mainly the crowd sequence, a shot of a horn, a shot of a moon, and more shots of pollution (in particular, a shot of pulsating black goo- though I may be able to find some archival footage for this).
