Canted angle test footage
As a group we decided to try out one of our filming shots prior to going out and filming because we thought it would be useful to run through shots to make the filming process easier. We decided to trial a canted angle from floor level because we thought it would be a good shot to use in our final project to help introduced our main character on screen, a convention of opening titles and scenes. Also, in a woods filming setting it could be difficult to film this on a forest floor. So, we did a run through to make sure we can easily film this shot type in our film setting.

In Final cut we tried applying filters onto the footage to make the lighting darker. We wanted to alter lighting as it's conventional for horror films to have dark/gloomy lighting to create an eerie and thrilling atmosphere for viewers.
One of the filters experimented with was called 'Isolate' in Final Cut. What was good about this filter was it made the footage slightly darker lit (I've uploaded a screen shot of the footage before and after applying the filter below). The change in lighting was conventional of the horror genre and overall creates a good effect. This could be a good filter to apply to our final film project to create a scary mood for audiences.
This effect could be good to use if it's raining on the day we film as it will make the footage seem suited to the filming surroundings and help make the shot look realistic to our film environment. The filter also focuses on Beth's shoes when she's walk making the shot successful as she's the main focus.
We also tried out using some audio filters to make the sound of her walking more prominent in the clip. After listening to the sound filters 'Cathedral' and 'Delay Designer' we chose to use the latter audio effect to enhance the natural sounds of birds and Beth's footsteps, as it will draw focus on her entrance in the footage. This audio filter good be good to use in our final project.

Another filter that we liked in Final Cut was called 'Romantic', it added a slightly hazy effect to the shot.
