3rd Outing: Test Footage - Cutaways

Summary

Another technique we decided to try whilst filming was the use of cutaways on a subject to create a wider variety of interesting shots that would divert the audiences attention from the main subject. We decided to shoot some cutaways to try and show influence to New Wave filming techniques as sometimes the film would suddenly jump cut to something else during a sequence wether it was related to the previous shot or not.

For this footage we intended to use an apertures of f/2.6 with an ISO of 800 to ensure that enough light entered the camera as when we filmed this it was a very overcast day so there was not  a great deal of light we also needed to alter the white balance to at least 8000k due to the over cats conditions during filming. This footage is new wave because we intended to use cutaways and jump cuts in our footage similar to films such as "Breathless" which uses a vast amount of cutaways and jump cuts.
