Brush Stroke- Film Shoot #10

The final film shoot. it seems like such a long time since we started (actually about a month) but its very nice to be at the end, but there was still a shoot to do so we rallied one final time to do it and wrap up.

This scene was to fill in the missing gaps of what we had missed when we were in the garage before and to shoot the final scene. This was a fun shoot as we had the slide so we had the chance to experiment a little bit with movement and how we could create emotion in a scene. For example the final shot of the film  as we track in from his limp body 'hanging' from the ceiling. This for me is the perfect closing shot for the film and it is because we had the slider that it happened.

This is Liam framing up a shot of the painting so that Carl knew where to paint it.

Carl was very cooperative on this shoot as it was probably the hardest for him as he had to hang from the ceiling as well as looking distressed, Carl was fantastic to work with on this shoot and to be honest throughout the whole film he has been, considering his relatively small experience I found him to be very professional and would definitely consider him for future roles.

Thus the shooting is concluded and on to the edit.

Brush Stroke- Film Shoot #9

The penultimate film shoot, only one more to go after this one, what a feeling. However, we still had work to do even though this was a very small shoot we still put the effort in and made sure it was of a good standard so that the film didn't suffer. 

We took out the redheads for this shoot but Richard was on Janice's shoot so  I stood in as sound Op on this shoot.

The lighting on this scene was crucial because we had used this room previously and because of this had to make it aesthetically differently from the lettings agent scene, I feel like we achieved that, however, watching the clips back, they will need to be colour corrected as they are too orange and look unnatural but this is a relatively easy fix.

Single of Carl for his side of the conversation.

The actors in the scene were easy to work with, it was Carl and Stephan so they knew each other and already knew what I expected from them and how the characters play off of each other, so I was happy with the performance they gave, we had the same problem of actors overstepping their mark but this was such a small scene it didn't really pose an issue. Sound operating was easy enough to work in conjunction with direction as I already know the script inside out so I had no issue making sure the mic was on the right person. The only issue was that I had terrible headphones because I had left my own at home, as a result I didn't have a very good representation of the sound quality but there are no issues on playback so it worked out fine.
