Single Shot Filming:
What is it?
A large sequence of film shot in one take.
What techniques are involved?
*Variety of shot distances and angles
*Shallow focus
*Following an actor/subject
*Deep focus
*Moving from CU to ES etc
*Sound (fade in or out?), Soundtrack to provide cohesion
*Choreography
(example of SSF) Goodfella's-Club Scene:
*Fluid movement
*Sets a pace
*Audience involved
Our own single shot film task:
Planning:
*Amy: Camera
*Freya: Director
*Lauren: Girl running
*Emily: Girl shouting to Lauren
*Running ----> Alleyway.
*Being chased? Unknown person?
Challenges that came with SSF:
*Keeping camera steady
*Planning, timings, props
*Choreographing can be difficult, dealing with hazards.
*Finding inspiration
*Avoiding the public (not getting them in your shot)
*Reflections, in windows etc.
Advantages that came with SSF:
*Impressive!
*Shows your technical skills
*stylish
*can tell story in one shot
*creates a sense of 'realtime,' adds immediacy and impact
