One Shot Film

Single Shot Evaluation

This is our one shot film, from the beginning we had the idea to do something about remembrance day mainly because it was close to the day. We also had the idea to use a poppy symbolically in the shot and we were going to shoot it at the polish war graves. Me and Richard already knew the layout of the place and could estimate a good shot to take. Personally I feel this is a good shot, this is the third angle we tried, looking at it from this perspective you can see the good use of negative space, taking advantage of the rows of polish graves. Combining this with filtering the red through the black and white meant that the viewers focus is drawn towards the significance of the poppy. Altogether this shot talks more than if it was say on a higher angle which we tried before. If I could improve on anything it would be the weather conditions and my sloppy walk up to the grave.
