A Reworked Shot of the feet as the actress gets out of bed

At first we found that this shot was quite effective and gave us a good feel of the surroundings. But something was wrong as it did not look right, the lighting was a little dark and the way Steph puts her feet on the ground looks really posed in the way that someone in her situation wouldn’t normally get out of bed like that. This shot would have emphasized her movement out of bed and also show the audience the state of the room she is in, it creates suspense as you are not quite sure what the purpose of the shot is for.

I t was interesting to see what we finally shot after our planning as it differed quite a bit. We made the lighting a bit darker so its more apparent that it is night time and made her feet touch the floor in a more unplanned way. We felt that this shot was also a good waypoint to start our slightly more upbeat sequence of music as it would match her pattern of movement after getting out of bed. This worked well as it really helped to build up tension leading to the next shots. There was no camera movement involved as the shot was to plainly focus on the movement of the actress.

I think in the end we created a very effective shot which helped to hold the shots in one sequence very nicely, its purpose was for continuity and it worked well in making the sequence more enjoyable to watch.
