FORREST GUMP SWEDE

For the first bit of filming we did this year we decided to film a small snippet of the Forrest Gump trailer. Joe was Forrest and I was Jenny. Charlie, Ben and Callum were behind the camera.

The soundtrack i chose was an emotional one to convey the emotions of both Forrest and Jenny. At the beginning the volume was low, not to low but for it to replace the background noise to give the video a vibe.

We started off the video with a one shot of Forrest on a bench to highlight that he was the main character. We then further developed the shot by making it a two shot, starting it off with Forrest's dialogue and Jenny sliding into the shot.

To add the effect of Forrest running, we got 3 panning shots of Joe running and I edited it together to make it look like it was all in one, adding the odd interesting transition to liven it up. To add comedic effect we had Ben peek his head peek around the corner of the tree and i made the camera zoom into his face.
