More in depths with  the shots and why we wanted to use certain ones. At the start of our movie we wanted to experiment with shots we haven't used in the past such as one from above or from a high place. To do this we needed to use the bell tower of the church which required me to email and ask for permission to gain access to the tower. Once we had access we needed to set up a tripod to try and get a steady shot but the tripod was very unstable and we had to use a lot of stabilisation in Sony Vegas to fix this. We also wanted some shots from above inside the church so we used the stairs on the altar and se the tripod up in a similar way, we used a different tripod this time which meant the shot was a lot steadier. We wanted to use these high shots as it typically shows a character is quite weak which is what we wanted to show in our protagonist. We aimed to show the effects of war not only on those involved but the families of them too. Showing the father is now weak and worn from mourning the loss of his son was far easier by using these higher shots than through mise-en-scene which was our initial idea to show this.
