We really need to try and get across the suspense in our opening but we as a group were quite stuck on how to do that. Our teacher suggested looking on youtube for Dolly Shots which have been used in a number of films such as Jaws to get across a feeling of shock and distortion . The shot is done by moving the camera out/in while zooming the opposite way.
This is one of the videos we found which shows what a dolly shot is...
We decided to try this out as we could use it in our final scene. Dave got us a dolly that is basically a tripod on wheels. We then position a camera on top of the tripod and started shooting. We found it quite hard as the zoom is quite sensitive so we kept zooming in too quickly and the effect didn't work. After a few tries though we managed to film one that actually worked and it looks really good...
