Filming Inside The Car


A small portion of Watching Her Every Move was filmed in a car. Cars leave very little room for clever maneuvering and it was trial and error to figure out how to have the camera capture the right angle. Another problem was how far the camera was propped against the dash/front windshield. I had to stand on the outside of the car, in front of the car to be able to see how the shot looked on the camera screen. While I was viewing the camera from outside the car, I could see that it was too low to be able to properly capture the rearview window. So I was left to improvise. We had bought a cereal box in Winn-Dixie to act like a prop in the cart, we thought of putting the box on the dash and then the camera on the box. It ended up capturing the perfect angle and we were able to fix most of the problems that we experienced within the car (minus the mirror shot!).
