Church Filming

As soon as we arrived at the church we immediately began to set up the wedding decorations. We used the small platform to film the walking up the aisle and made sure that the whole of the church and mise-en-scene was perfect for filming. This included making sure the lighting was suitable and the angles were just right.

We then decided, that rather than just filming the back of the dress being trailed, we would also film it with the camera reamining still and also from the front so that we would have more to experiment with when editing, and produce something out of a variety of shots from many different angles, even if we didn't end up using them.

We decided to show that the bride was alone and isolated by filming a shot of just her hand and the rest of the empty church, which to us, was very symbolic and ultimately perfect for a 'teaser' trailer. We filmed the empty church in case we wanted an establishing shot or a closing shot to again show the isolation that the bride feels during the trailer.

Overall, the entire group beleived that the filming was very successful because we had the time to do more than the minimum and instead experiment with what we had. We uploaded our recording to the Pinnacle programme to edit and experiement with the film.

In the end, we decided not to use the hand or the establishing shot of the church as we just wanted to stick with what we orignally had so that the less there was of the surroundings, the more mysterious the trailer would appear.

This is the a picture of the inside of the church and the aisle that we used. We thought it was the perfect size when it came to filming.
