Directions - DSLR Canon 7d

Canon 7D DSLR Workshop

I've used a DSLR for all of my previous projects in the past before coming to the university, so when it came to getting my way around the camera I found it very easy. In today's workshop, we were told to print off our script and to maybe practise some shot for the upcoming production week. I decided to use the dolly and track because I really want to have some motion in my shots, with this I could track towards the subject to inform the audience that this is a key moment for the development in both of these characters as their feelings for another has changed.

Here is what I directed during the workshop and as you can see I tried to use the dolly on tracks to track towards the two characters because I want the audience to know that this is an important part in their character development and changes the tone of the film. I felt like I really managed to achieve this look for this specific part of the scene however I know that the room I will be filming it will be a lot smaller, so I'm going to try and think of maybe another way to get the same effect.

Although I am very familiar with the Canon I don't think I will be using it in my project because they don't work very well in really low lighting situations. As my scene is located at a car park at night, it's going to be very hard to get a good quality picture without having to turn the iso up causing the final picture to have grain and static.
