Production Log 3

We are planning to film in the conference room that we booked out, this scene will be a re-shoot in a new location of the investigation scene that we previously filmed for our first screening. It was best to re film this because not only did the first shooting look unprofessional but it also was only 10 seconds long which is no where near enough in contrast with the killer scene. 

To re-shoot we needed a camera which I as cinematographer will operate and a tripod to make sure all of the shots are very steady.

We will use props to create a more office like atmosphere; These props are

Binders and folders,

mugs,

name tag,

calculator,

images of a crime scene,

a computer,

a kettle,

a coffee maker,

and a briefcase.

We need to shoot George walking into the conference room, working at a desk, looking at the investigation board, working at a computer and finally a burst of anger where he is frustrated.

 Today we filmed for our second shoot, this consisted of re shooting certain shots that we thought were too grainy or shaky, shooting new shots experimenting with strobe lighting and finally filming new close ups. I filmed any significant part of the rise en scene in an extreme close up because it focuses on that specific object. Some things will not be apart of the final piece because when editing some shots are much more engaging compared to others therefore we only want to use our very best shots. I also had an idea of writing on taking paper and filming that backwards which could act as an over lay through editing. This prop was mainly just to distort the audience and it turned out to look really cool.

Setting up the scene took much monger than expected because there was small light interferences overtime i wanted to use a new shot. To over come this problem we covered any light interference and resulted to using our phone torches which gave us the same eery low key lighting. This made the entire footage flow very well.
