For the Narrative shoot, me and my partner took a variety of shots all around Town, travelling all over in order to ensure we had enough footage. We filmed at the top of Smith Street, Market Square, up some stairs leading to Salvation Army, and looped around again.

It went well, with over 50+ clips of footage recorded, and double-takes in case of an issue being taken as well. We used varying camera angles and techniques, e.g ped/pan, which helped make the shoot less boring.

It was difficult to film in public areas without people looking at us (which went against the point of the lonely burden the bin bestowed upon the star), but we managed to push past and still get some good shots.

Reflecting on it, while the shoot went well with plenty of footage in differing locales, and with a good sum of usable footage (important), I feel as though we should have included more camera techniques, as well as different camera angles and shots (e.g POVs, extreme close-ups). I feel this as much of the footage includes “Dutch Angles” and mid-shots, which is fine in moderation, but not enough action was taken to make sure similar shots weren’t repeated.
