After reviewing the footage of Supersede and completing our shoot it was time to get planning for my own project and getting things in order for The Crossing.
The planning process for my project was long and difficult. I have really struggled devising a shot list for this shoot and have only really been able to visualize how I want things to look and certain angles to try. So I noted some ideas for each film.
Voyeur:
Coloured tint? Yellow?
Handheld shooting. As seen in Breaking Bad.
Moving shots
Dark Voyeur:
Chiaroscuro
In cupboards
Obscured
Smooth
Shadow:
Chiaroscuro
POV
Blurred? Vignette for sleepiness?
Face shots
Head Cam
Arm cam
Object POV.
Fish eye?
To prepare for the shoot I spent a lot of time on production design and completely transformed my flat. I removed a day bed from the living room and a chest of drawers from the bed room. I also removed all clutter and rearranged an large IKEA bookshelf, removing anything that didn't look good and arranging a selection of books and ornaments.
It took a long time and all our belongings are now in the study which is a mess! The most difficult thing has been maintaining this tidiness between shoot days but I have managed. I did my best with the kitchen but most I could do is keep it clean and the counters clear of debris.
I also ordered a selection of 10 light gels to experiment with. They had colours to select from but no pics of what the colours were so I ended up with a lot of very deep colours.
I made my own reflector by wrapping foil round a chopping board which has a handle.
It took me a while to ask someone to be in my film as I didn't feel ready for cast but I forced myself to get it done and my friend from work agreed to help.
