CONSTRUCTION: TOY ON BARBED WIRE

In this lesson we went out to reconstruct the war image which we had filmed. We placed a doll which Connie had made on barbed wire. At first we had to take a few photographs to use for our poster. Then I did a variety of different camera movements and filmed the doll on barbed wire.

At first I panned from left to right. However I felt that it was better tilting from down to up as the image got darker because of the sun as the doll came into frame. I think that this gives a chilling effect as the viewer will now be certain that something horrific has happened to this child, as this toy will have been seen in an early scene with the little girl holding it.
