weird filming techniques that worked

A big challenge we had creating the film opening, was filming skateboarding. Typically skateboarding is filmed by a person on a skateboard holding a camera. The skill level required in order to do this is however very high and due to that fact, we had to improvise as it is very difficult to hold a camera and move at the speed required without a lot of experience beforehand.


                                                              
This led to us creating new methods to film, most notably sticking the camera out of a car next to the skateboarder. This was a great idea as it allowed us to film high-speed skating in the easiest way possible. Without this idea, our film would have not been able to film skating to the same level that it was able to. The idea of the filming technique was to drive next to the skateboarder, going at the same speed. It, however, enabled the shots to be smooth opposed to shaky.
