CONSTRUCTION: PANNING SHOT

Today we filmed the scene which shows that the woman is a war photographer. We placed a bundle of  actual war photos along a horizontal desk, along with a Cannon camera; in order to suggest that she, herself is the photographer. We decided to use a pan so that we could show all the photos and then come to focus in the one important photo of a child. This photo is significant as it illustrates the womans fasination and obsession with children, it also shows her devestation in hearing the news about being unable to concieve a child of her own, as she rips the photo up.

This scene was difficult to film as the shot was too high to use a dolly, so amber had to ensure she used a steady hand in order to get a good an in focus shot. She also had to move the camera from left to right slow enough, so that the audience gets the full impact of the scene.
