The Practice before the Storm
In today's blog I will start making practical set up. This is because, like before, I am not having the best time visualizing the replication of the film. So, I decided to make the screen play on set without the human actors to get angles and other things of that nature. These are the still shots or shot where I do not have a movement-based shot.
Practice Shots:
Scene 1 Shot 2
Scene 2 Shot 3
Scene 2 Shot 5
Scene 2 Shot 7
Scene 2 Shot 8
What went Right and Wrong with the Practice Shots:
Before we go into the details of the individual shot, I would like to preference this by saying these were all hand-held shots so, if the shot were leaning a bit to the left that is why. Along with that, the time is all wrong. However, with all of the issues that were out of control, I am happy with all of the shots. Scene 2 Shot 4 being the best output when it came to the angles and positioning with it actually having the props/focus being there. Shot 9 I put the dead person there in post because the room is not clean and to get an idea of person position, but the idea of it being a P.O.V shot not having an angle down will make you miss the body. A necessary chang to the scene I will add now. Shot 7 has an interesting interaction of a reflection at later times of the day which is something I did not account for. However, with this problem the idea still works for the position of the shots. Shot 8 has no notes it has nice use of mise-en-scene of vertical lines and pop of light to draw your eyes there. Shot 5 has the most problems out of all the scenes having the background having too much focus, going to draw your eyes to every detail but the person walking out due to color, but the frame in a frame does work. Shot 3 is boring without props and movement, a way to fix this is a pan-tracking shot.
Take Away:
Most of the shots work with a few issues of idea with Shot 5 being too distracting needing shallow focus. Shot 3 is just boring. Shot 4, 8and 9 being the best and already fixed issues I notice when setting it up. Scene 2 Shot 1 need the actor to make it work.
