Shooting - Day 2

My plan for this day was to get the indoor dream sequence shot, as well as to finish off the outdoor dream sequence scene that I had failed to finish on day 1 because the sun set too quickly. However, the location that I would have used for the indoor dream sequence was unavailable to me, because it turned out that I didn't have permission to shoot there. The other scene that I could have shot instead - the body dump/crime scene - required people who weren't available on the day, so I was stuck. I did manage to finish the outdoor dream sequence, which is good, but I wanted to have shot more by now. At the moment, I have shot and edited nearly half of my production, which is ok progress, but unfortunately, securing permission might take some time, and the availabilities of the necessary people don't line up again for a while. This means that I won't be able to film again for a bit of time, so I'll focus on my magazine work instead.

Initital Responses to the Brief

I will say that something I decided on instantly after being given the brief was that I wanted to pursue a fictional production, and would only really consider the alternative if my brain simply could not concoct a story that when transferred to paper wouldn't immediately take a one-way trip to the nearest bin. As of now, I am unsure which fictional world I wish to dive into; the brief does not specify a genre, although the channels (neither ITV or Channel 5 are particularly famous for their dramatic achievements) and their remits arguably do somewhat limit my options. Initial contemplations have steered me in the direction a crime drama - for I find it difficult to thin k of ITV drama without the word "Broadchurch" springing to mind - but I am yet to sit down and engage with a blank sheet of paper, known enemy of creativity though it is. Upon initially reading the brief set, most of my attention went to the fact that the programme we're tasked with producing ...

Experimenting with Lighting 1

Image
Lights... I have decided that for part of the AV section of my project I want my lighting to be heavily tinted. I have also decided that, while it would be possible to achieve this effect in post, I want to create the lighting effects on set. So, I set about experimenting with lighting at home. These are the results. Initial Tests For my very first tests, I went small. I used small lights, for example the torch on my iPhone and my desk light, from around my bedroom and took close-up pictures of the remote control for my stereo. To the right is one of my macro setups. Blue cellophane is covering my desk light, yellow cellophane is covering my iPhone torch, and red cellophane is covering a wind-up torch I found in a drawer. The resulting image is below. Other examples using different colours of cellophane include: I also tried photographing a few other things around my room using different lighting setups and moving away from macro-photography. ...
