Preliminary Filming

Because of the problems with the practicality of getting a camera mount, I needed to go out on location and film some experimental shots to make sure I can capture some usable footage.

This is how it turned out...

I think this worked well.

The one problem I had was the speed of the 'camera car'. It was too quick at 30mph so next time I will drive at 20 mph for the passing shots otherwise it speeds past too fast and the framing is ruined.

Another thing was getting the correct framing whilst moving. It was difficult to adjust whilst on the move. Next time driving slower will help.

The positive thing was that i found I could use the zoom feature to create the effect of the car speeding off. Timed right and this will work well.

I believe this is going to work well. As long as it is not rushed and I concentrate on the correct framing to not capture reflections or such like, this will look good.
