Research on first person filming.

As our extended advert will involve a lot of first person filming with the camera taking the form of the N1H1 virus itself I have decided to researched into techniques of first person filming. First person filming is the filming from the point of view of a person or object.

I found that the best example of first person filming came in the form of the sitcom series peepshow. Peepshow revolves around a first person type of view, to do this head cams are regularly used.
















Doom is a film that also involves a lot of first person filming. After watching the film
myself very interested in how the film was created and the techniques used. I found that the film was created on the back of the very popular first person video game.












Halloween (1978 film) is a good example of one of the very first films to use the first person camera techniques. Although i didnt get around to watching the film i did find some interesting images.

Pitch.

We pitched using a power point presentation
In my opinion our pitch went rather well, i believe we proposed our idea's well.

In our feedback we received a lot of praise as well as constructive criticism.
We found that people had a very mixed opinion, some thought our idea was good while others critisized.

My role in the pitch was to describe my role within the group (camera man) i described the camera shots that's would be in the production and the research i had undergone.

I took some spare time to create a few graphs to tally our feedback.



As you can see from the table we had a wide varety of feedback, personally i believe that our idea was very good, although the NHS already had a Catch it, Bin it, Kill it campainge ours would be bring a new light on the virus and how it is spread around a regular household and it can be something as simple as a letter that could cause you to catch a life threatening virus.
