The Cinematography

Although the criteria was very simple, it was very hard to actually create an effective piece of film. We encounted quite a few problems whilst filming. For example, because we were limited to a handicam it was very hard to do moving shots without the camera shaking. To overcome this we attached the tripod to add extra weight and give it a stedicam effect.
We tried to add a film noir sense to the film by using shadowing and darkness to create a sense of mstery. To do this we turned of any lights and only used natural sunlight. We feel this was very effective because the light would only come from one direction so it would shadow alot of the character instead of the light being all around the character.
