Filming Practice

This is our practice filming on the software Corel VideoStudio to see what would be the best filming technique to use when we start our project, we used such techniques as full speed, half speed and colour manipulation. We had to get used to other computing methods such as changing the file format to AVI from MP4 to get the full use out of the video. This was extremely helpful as we now are becoming used to editing techniques on the software and the camera.

Filming Locations

These are all of the locations we have taken pictures of and researched for our project. We are looking to film our trailer in these locations and have taken note of the whereabouts and discussed as a group what place would be suitable for what scene. We decided that the forest would be suitable for the camping scenes and the hills for the fast paced running and attacking scenes. The country lanes are for the first scenes and parts with the car.
