Test for car shots

In our opening sequence we have filmed some shots inside of a car. We used some lesson time to practice some of these different shots that we wanted to use to see how effective they are. We feel that the shot from the front showing both the driver and the passengers faces we may need to improve as it does not include much of the car in the background and does not really set the scene well.
The shot from behind taken by someone sitting in the back seat of the car is an effective shot as it shows the driver's eyes in the rear view mirror which ultimately means we can see their reaction as she sees the body. Although at times the camera was shaky in this shot, during filming we used a tripod to ensure that this does not happen again and we were on a smoother surface.
Now that we have finished filming our opening sequence. We decided not to film any shots inside the car from the front because we felt that it would look more suspicious to film it all from the back of the car. And also this showed the audience the road ahead and made them feel like they are in the car.
