Our cinematographer was able to come up with really great looking shots.

She played around with one scene, and re-shot it using multiple different angles, framing it differently each time.

She did this for multiple scenes.

           

This one close up shot was filmed twice, in two different ways. The angled one was done after shooting the first one (right). We shot it straight-forward first, considering that the whole scene was very flat; not a lot of angles at all (we wanted to stay within our genre. Romance films are very level and flat). The second was shot because: 1) our cinematographer wanted to get an angled shot, just to see how it would look, and 2), in case we needed ‘filler footage.’

Now, looking back at the footage, I say we merge both. We could start out with the shot on the right, and straight cut to the one on the left. We shot another scene on an angle, so it would be a nice transition.

It would go something like this:

The angled shots provide a nice transition, it looks cohesive for the most part. Not extremely seamless, though. Next time, we should set up two different cameras.
