Alice- Shoot 2: Dark Room 1

This was the second scene for Alice where she is developing some of the photos she has done for the job she is doing, Mark walks in and the two have a confrontation as he finds one she was trying to hide. As this takes place in a literal dark room lighting the scene proved to be difficult and the camera operator decided to shoot off of an ISO 800 which I believe to be too high and when we have watched the footage back it has a degree of grain to it which may prove hard to get rid of but I admit I have no knowledge of how that would be done.

The above image quality issues are mainly due to youtube as this is a screenshot, I can assure you the actual footage looks much better. This was very similar to the first shoot in that we had time to get a lot of coverage, however, this time it was in the form of many different shots instead of many different takes, this meant we had a lot of coverage to work with which would no doubt be massively helpful come the edit time. My main issue with this shoot was that I lament the fact we never did a lighting test, only a location recce, this undoubtedly lead to the lighting issues we experienced.

One thing that may prove to be an issue was that Gary didn't seem from where I was to follow any set path as he was playing a drunken character it seemed that his path and movements would vary from take to take, this may not be true but if it is then it may cause some continuity errors in the edit, however we do have some shots that don't have him in that we could easily cut to to mask this. Other than this I felt the performance from both was great and I really felt as though they flowed naturally and had a bit of genuine tension between them from being in there characters. All in all another quality film shoot that yielded good results.
