Creation of a Short Film : Pratice Filming...

So during half term as I had planned to I took some footage of my baby niece are her mum. This would in turn create part of the story of in a mothers shoes, as well as in a baby's shoes. The main reason for me doing some basic filming, was so that before I got to far involved with the storyboards and scripts I wanted to make sure that the lack of structure would not be an issue in creating a five minute short. I took some basic footage, of Eliza exploring the house and some taken on Halloween night showing the close contact between mother and child, I also took some close up shots of different shoes, contrasting the sizes between adult and child Wellingtons, work shoes and leisure.

Before I had done this practice footage I had been having some concern about the fact that I was struggling to see how with such a lack of structure the different clips would all come together, to not only create a full I've minutes of footage but also to create five minutes were the audience's attention was always captured. After doing this practice filming, I was still feeling a bit mixed about my idea, I was really interested in keeping the basic idea of in a person's shoes however I was still struggling with seeing how all the footage would come together as one, therefore I decided to go back to the drawing board so to speak and still focusing on my idea of shoes create a more fictional story, that is based on one central character and the day she has in another persons shoes.
