CCTV Shoot

The last part of footage we needed to finish the whole CrimeWatch video was some CCTV style footage of the vampire in black walking down a dark alley. The camera we wanted to use for this shoot (Canon 600D) was unfortunately all out from the media loans so as a backup we used my Canon 1300D as it works just the same and as it’s mine I got to be camera operator.

Me, Harrison and Chloe walked to the back of the university building and filmed outside opposite gwdihuw facing the camera towards the train bridge as it makes a perfect dodgy scene location. We set up the camera on a set of stairs so that it was tall enough to look like it was a CCTV camera attached to a raised wall. Then got the camera ready to film by using the focus and zoom tools. Once it was all good to go I pressed record and Chloe walked across the street and down an alley in black to make it look like she was the vampire lurking around the crime scene which the CrimeWatch is based off of. Only one take was necessary so once we shot the first one we packed it all away and called it a day.
