Today I met with Lauren and Tom to do some indoor test shots for the footage that will be displayed on the screen. We decided to use a DSLR for our test shoot, using Lauren's wide angle lens, to catch every bit of detail at each location.
As we had an idea of it being a simplistic scenario, we decided to do a mixture of POV shots of someone waking up, putting on their jumper, picking up their tablet, walking downstairs, going into their kitchen, making a cup of tea, sitting on their sofa playing and game, heading back up to bed and falling asleep once again. The scenario itself was an easy concept, however getting a professional looking POV shot without a helmet rig (Shown right) was difficult. This meant Thomas had to film it from Lauren's perspective, so that both hands could be in shot to make it look more realistic and move around accurately, making sure she didn't hit into anything and kept a constant pace.
I feel that the shoot went really well and some really good shots were produced from it. What is difficult to get around is any shaky-ness from the camera, as that is just natural from the movement of the camera by Thomas. If we decided to re-shoot we may want to consider a helmet rig or some sort of tripod to allow the movement to be a bit more fluent.

I think you may have done some more test since this??? Is this the one we looked at during the tutorial last week? Have you decided on the scenario that will play out i the visuals yet? As I suggested, it needs to be interesting on a universal level so it has appeal to a wide audience. Let me know when you update the blog further.
