Test Shots - Running Scene .



In our trailer, we are planning to include a lot of fast action scenes, so I decided to practice filming a scene that includes fast action (running). After watching several existing horror trailers, I have noticed that in order to keep the speed of the action going, the camera shots and angles change rapidly. Even if the same person remains in focus, the camera will focus on a different parts of their body every few seconds, for example, for a simple scene with someone running down a street, there may first  be a long shot of them running to establish what it happening and then a close up of their face and then of their feet and so on. I have tried to do this in this test video by taking lots of raw footage from different angles and then editing it on iMovie so that the shot changes every few seconds.
