Journal - 15/12/12 Birds

Today we decided to have a fun experiment, as in our title sequence we have bird poo falling onto the protagonist's shoulder, therefore we felt it would be interesting to see if we could get a shot of a bird. This also contributed to Daisy's cinematography skills, her knowledge of angles and practising to capture smooth, fast shots with a steady movement. I feel we was successful in our experiment because we all gained knowledge of movement, continuity and the difficulties we may face when filming serious shots.
We are not going to use this shot because we fill it would create a 'jumpy' effect when going from one shot to the other; if we were to use footage of a bird we would need to have a close up, and today we proved that would be impossible.
