Evaluation of practice footage.

Although our footage is not relevant in the sense of the content of the film, we have practiced effects that may useful in our final production.
We used the effects of speeding things up to give the illusion that things were happening at a much faster pace than reality. This may be used in our piece in order to keep the audience engaged as ordinary things happening at an ordinary pace are boring and become repetitive.
A further technique which was effective was close up shots of normal things like the coke can give a surreal effect and hold suspense as the audience wants to see the full picture, the idea of keeping things withdrawn from the audiences one of our key themes ( that the individuals filmed in our video will all be part of a band but the bigger picture of them all together will not be revealed until the end)
A futher technique which we did not get chance to practice was the light contrasting effects and different csmera lenses. we plan to have some test footage of this even if not alot.
