filming the live action

Today we filmed the live action part of our childrens film opening sequence. We chose to film the shots in our classroom to achieve a realist classroom setting, we thought this worked quiet well. We tried having the camera on a tripod and then hand held to find which gave us the better shots. In the end we chose the hand held take because we were able to make the camera pan easier, instead of using zoom as it went out of focus. After we finished filming we put it onto the computer to edit. In our editing we used fades at the begining and end of the shot.

Here is our finished part of the live action sequence.


We will decide at a later date whether or not to add a non digetic soundtrack.
