Intentions:
To have a dress rehearsal of some key scenes with the full cast and to film a collection of experimental shots, which will form part of my preproduction exercises.
Filming Description:
I dressing the set for the duration of the filming on this night; it was here that I put my mise en scene planning into action. This involved making the house look natural and lived in, but stylised in a minimalistic fashion. It took a few hours to get the house ready for shooting but I feel the house looks more authentic now.
After running through some key scenes with John (Matt McComish) and Sarah (Melissa Gallagher), we then had a dress rehearsal of the opening sequence of the film. This allowed me to experiment with shots that I want to include in the final product and allowed me to review the footage in my editing suite to see if I needed to make amendments to lighting.
Success:
I’m happy with our progress tonight; it has given me a good indication of how the shots will translate to film and how the chemistry between the actors works. Unfortunately, the HDV cam was set to ‘date record’ meaning all the footage that I shot has timecode emblazoned over it. D’oh! Not to worry, some careful letterboxing will enable me to use this footage in the pre-production exercises.
That’s all for now! Stay tuned for day 1 on set!
