Short Form Story

Scene:

Track & Phantom long jump:

Shot ideas:

  • Family watching on at day (ie. cut to from her prep for day jump)
  • Family watching at night jump?
  • Studio style jump shots
  • Simulation of camera flashes whilst she is mid air?
  • Track away from her as she jumps into light or darkness
  • End of day light jump shots (beginning before jump focus etc/running/take off and landing)
  • End of day light jump shots: Sinta accelerating along run up, Phantom from feet to 3/4 behind on tracking vehicle.
  • Tracking her running (for cut to’s in other running scenes)
  • Texture shots, particle, sand grains, super close vision, track, soles of shoes, sand vibrating/sand reverse motion 
  • Stylised texture and normal shots with counter moving light on tracks etc.

Time of Day:
If we are to shoot any running at the track for schedule sake to reduce day length lets shoot some stuff mid afternoon.

For the slow motion long jump we can shoot it twice in general. One set of coverage/story telling captured in the last light of the day and then again (for a different set of coverage with the Phantom camera at night (for the super slow motion studio feel).
