Some of the camera techniques that were used in the film and what we were going to use in the film but when we came down to being at the location we decided that they didnt work.
At the start we had chosen for the camera to be pointing towards the victim and the area where the goon would appear, when we got the the location we came to a decision that the camera would pan around the tree as the victim would walk in and sit down. As it turned out at the editing this destracted from the whole theme so it was cut out just to have the first view of the victim.
We also went to a shot of the Arm looking at a watch as a match on action and this would give time for the goon to step in.
Next We were just going to move to a shot of the road where the victim would walk away, But Blaine suggested that we could get a shot from under the bench as to show the feet and then the whole of the body down the road.
Next we went for a canted angle of the street as the victim and goon walked passed close to the camera.
For the first flash back we went for a dark location and the victim walking from right to left then a mid-shot the the victim and femme fatale.
The next shot we are back to the present, and for this we chose for Tom to walk backwards to get a shot of the victim and the goon in the background.
Next was a shot of one side of the road taken from an aleyway this was to show a view of someone from in a house or a animal. This shot was longer as it had a van in but we had to cut it out as the shot was loo long and the van took to long.
Next we used a shot that was slightly canted and went from a shot up the road to a shot at the same place of the victim starting to run of the end of the road.
This then linked to a shot of just the feet running, the camera was turned upside down and still on the tripod for stability, this would then be flipped in the editing.
For the next flash back we had a behind shot of the victim showing the femmme fatale.
next was a shot of the city council buildings clock tower the then panned down to head hight showing the goon and victim running past.
Next Blaine ran behind the victim whilest he was looking back, this showed what the goon would be seeing whist he was trying to catch him.
When we where on our way back we decided that it would be good to have a shot of the victim running down the streen and the camera tracking him from the other side.
For the next shot of the flash back we had another mid-shot.
Then going back to the present, we had a tracking shot of the name of the road "Elm hill" and then continuing tracking as the two actors run between the camera and the wall the sign was on.
Then another shot of the femme fatale and then next a shot of the two running down the street. At this point we were going to have a shot throught the bars of the church and a shot the the sain glass windows but the light inside wasnt on and the gate was closed.
The next shot was a point of view of the "victim" running down the street.
Last shot of the flash back was a shot the mouth of the femme fatal
The very last shot was a above pan of the victim running down to an opening then to find that a car was round the corner which put its lights on full to have it fade to white.
