This shot will be part of our short montage; it could also be called an establishing shot. This will be quite a long take to signify that nothing much is happening. There is the conventional iconography here of the race track and the red and white stripes which denotes that this is a serious racing circuit.
Shot 3
Unfortunately, we cannot get a test shot of the angle we will use in our film; we are planning to get a shot tracking up from the track to a LA shot of the lights. This again will be a long take as it is also signifying that there are no events on and we are trying to create a sad and emotional atmosphere. Again, we have conventional iconography here of the lights which denote the professionalism of the location.
This is the location where we will shoot the shots of the driver getting ready for the race. They will be short, close ups which create a frantic, fast paced atmosphere. I think this a good location as it is a simple workshop which connotes a professional place. All of these shots being CUs, there will not be much visual iconography.
These are the only shots we have been able to get test shots of so far because...
- Shot 1+6 are XCU so the location doesn't matter so much. As long as we have bright lighting.
- Shot 4+5 we have been unable to get the camera we are using to my house so as soon as we are able to do that, those test shots will be taken.
- Shots 10 to 16 are all going to be shot on the track which we can only access on the day of filming.
