Experimenting with Camera Shots.

In preparation for filming our preliminary piece, I took it upon myself to take home the schools Nikon D5100 camera, to practice getting the shots that I wanted. My main aim was to figure out how to make the subject of a photo/film the focus, whilst the background remains blurry. This is a shot that I have especially been wanting to use in my film, ever since viewing a video on YouTube of a students media piece ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwsUnPHRXEM ). When I viewed this video I realised how much focus the shots put on the people in the film, and during my thriller I particularly wanted to use this shot a lot.
Here are some of the shots that I captured, and I am very pleased them:
