Below are two potential ways in which we could choose to film the 360 degree shot signalling the start of the vision, either using a dolly or handheld.
Using a Dolly
When we used a dolly, we received varied results. The overall consensus is that the dolly made the filming really smooth on the surface we chose to film on. However, any bump on the surface, created a noticable jolt in the filming process. We also cannot gaurantee that the surface that we choose to film on in Cambridge will be perfectly smooth like the one we chose in the college grounds. The final issue of using the dolly is the sound made by the wheels on the ground. This is only a minor issue because we will be planning to have a soundtrack playing over the filming.
Filming without a dolly
We decided that filming without a dolly was much easier than filming with one. We decided this for many reasons, first of all, if the cameraman/woman uses a steady hand, then the filming can still be very stable and have minimal jolts. Filming without a dolly also eliminates any problems associated with the street surface, seeing as it is easier to alter the position of the camera in your hands opposed to changing the height and position of the camera whilst attached to the dolly. The section of the clip where the camera must zoom in on the character's eye is also much easier when handheld seeing as the camera user can literally move the camera towards the actor and zoom at will.
