Prelim - Filming of The Prelim

These are still picture of what we went through during the shooting of the match cut prelim.

One thing we noticed was that when we filmed the remake of Killers everybody was very uptight and eager to make a good scene. We ended up not enjoying ourselves and learning new ways to explore what we were doing. So this time we were very relaxed and calm and took everything one step at a time.

Over all this was a good experiment for us all as we got an idea how much work we'd have to do for one scene. Also how much attention we'd had to give when we do our opening. This was a very good warm up.

    This was a Rambo pose of Zubeir and Anil. 


    At the end we were pleased of what've done. The shooting was successful.

    We set up the camera to get the right angle of the shot. It took about 3 minutes to get it right.

An example of over the shoulder shot






Another over the shoulder shot when Alex was speaking. 


Checking if the two actors are taking up 2/3 of the shot.  

Fixing the level of the tripod so we get a right angle for the over the shoulder shot. This took about 3-4 takes before we got the one we wanted.

A random shot which gave a very thriller like atmosphere. This was very random and gave us an idea to use in our real Opening for our coursework. 

Getting the focus button perfect so we get the right shot and not waste time.

making sure the tripod stand is tightened firmly so it won't fall and damage the camera.



checking to see if all the buttons work so we do not have any problem while shooting.


getting in the right mood before shooting so all the members are not feeling nervous or anything.
