During filming, we have done steady shots where appropriate, using the tripod. We did steady shots during the computer scene and Pete slamming into the wall and falling down. It was a mix of a medium shot showing Amanda's body language and expressions. Then we did stop motion, when Pete was on the computer then moving towards the wall and down to the desk.
Framing a shot including or excluding elements where appropriate; we cropped out in some photos my hands during the shots of Pete being smacked into the wall, otherwise we didn't need to crop anything.
We used a variety of shots, these are; an extreme close up of the stranger's hand knocking on the door, creating mystery. A long shot of Amanda and Matt finding Pete outside their door, seeing the body language more than facial expressions. A close up of Pete sitting on the chair, to see his facial expressions. A medium shot of Amanda with Pete in the computer scene, to see facial expressions and body language.
Transitions that we have used so far are, a cut after the title 'Pete's Struggle' with stop motion. Another cut with the scene were the stranger knocking on the door to doing a close up of baby Pete in the blanket on the floor outside. We have a fade to black after Amanda and Matt have found Pete.
We haven't used sound yet. Matt is working on the soundtracks. We all agreed that we liked the soundtracks he has found for when Pete is sad, happy and even for when he is found at the beginning. We will put these in hopefully on Monday.
We have included the titles. One with stop motion, 'Pete's Struggles'. The title '5 years
later', we were thinking of doing it with stop motion. We decided we didn't have
enough time to use stop motion, so instead we are just using text.
