Test Shoots

Test Shoots

In these pictures we went to the 'Interview Room' and took some test shoots of what the scene would look like and deciding what camera angles looked the best. We tried different positions of setting up the camera, so we did some over the shoulder shots both sides of me and Charlotte. The lighting was very yellow and wasn't too good, so we will have to bring in some extra lights to help with the atmosphere. Also behind Charlotte was a massive book case, we are defiantly going to move that when filming because it was in the way and made the scene off centre. On the blue notice board we are going to print pieces of paper of articles and posters of graphs and tables to make it look like a prober office set up as a interview room. Tyler and Mr Evans will be sat either side.

The first picture of us all standing behind a white hall is where were going to film the waiting room. Adding a line of chairs, a clock on the wall and a small table with magazines will create a office like feel. Tyler will be sat of centre in a wide shot to set the scene, as the camera slowly pans in to him. When comes to editing there will be ambient sounds of chatter and telephones ringing in the background. Also to get a few extras walking past to make it less set up.





So we went to the subway, where we are thinking of filming the whole hallucination sequence. Its a really nice place to film, its all lit up very well and has lots of room. But unfortunately there are a lot of cons. 1) The are mirrors either side of the subway, this would be rally hard to film as you would see the camera crew in the reflection. 2) It gets really busy as people are constantly walking past. If we were going to film a whole scene with fighting and shouting, it will create a lot of attention. 3) We wouldn't be able to take it over as its a public space and were not a huge TV and film company. The only thing we could do is find and film somewhere else. Or still use this subway, but only at a quieter time were there are less people. We could have three people at the entrances of the subway tunnel telling people to wait for 10 seconds or more, just while we do the takes. Even if it takes all day.  

We were trying out a couple shot types. A wide shot to set the scene with the hooded character at the end. Also a over the shoulder shot revealing where Tyler would be sanding.
