Today we decided to film a shot that would take a long time but be worth it if it came out correctly, we began filming the sky and sun from the top of the hill and waited until it got dark, the sunset lasted about an hour but using the editing software we fast forward it to give the effect of time going quickly, the shot came out exactly how we wanted, with clouds moving across the sky and the sun going down. The use of this shot is so that there is a transition from day to night in the middle of our video, it is also a technical shot and looks very effective as part of our video. This type of shot is used quite a lot in films and extreme sports videos; the shot looks professional and effective boosting the quality of our video. Another shot we filmed was of a car sound system that exaggerates the base, when filming this we played the track ‘Showdown’ so that we could sync the music with the video we had filmed. At college we used editing software to add in the videos we had filmed, we fast forwarded the sunset video and added in the shot of the base as an abstract part of the video. Also we added a blinking effect to the opening point of view shot of the character waking up and walking around his bedroom, as he looks out the window he blinks twice and the shot comes into focus gradually, by doing this we convey the effect of tiredness and that he has just woken up and his eyes are adapting to the light.
