Skills Audit - Filming

When we were on location, we decided to take some photos of ourselves setting up the equipment and filming.




We always kept the tripod balanced evenly by checking the 'balance level' on the tripod. We made sure that the tripod was evenly level to ensure that we achieved the best possible capture of each shot.



This is the 'mechanism' we used to keep the briefcase shut when George was running with it. We wanted to have the briefcase slightly open so we could capture lots of paper with our titles on flying around in the air. Sadly, it was not possible to capture this paper, as we could not get it to leave the briefcase in the correct way during filming.




This is the opening shot being filmed. The title sequence starts with George walking down the road towards an unknown location. However, on the other side of the road, a female agent is surreptitiously watching him and calls her associate to proceed and follow him.



This is a still photo of the closing shot to the title sequence.The piece of paper has the working title 'The Briefcase' written on it. This comes from the idea of showing our titles entirely on the paper in the briefcase. However, we changed the name of the film and did not include the paper in the air sequence, so it would not make sense to show the close-up we originally had of the paper. This is why we decided to show the paper with the red tie and briefcase clearly in view.
