Tricky Shots- Coins landing Analysis

Another tricky shot we might need in our short film involves coins landing. If we decide to use this in our film, we want to make sure that the audience understands that the direction of the coins. In Practice 1 we decided to shoot the coins landing on ground using a low level position of the camera, as we believed that this would be the most effective way to display the coins as the audience can see them coming onto the shot and landing on the ground. This eye level shot is the most effective for what we want to achieve as everything is displayed within the frame.We were able to achieve this by placing the camera on the ground and dropping the pennies from a small height, which prevented them from bouncing off shot, and instead they remained within the frame. If we decide to use coins landing in our film, we believe that this would be the most effective method in doing so.
