Here is a process where we went through our script and made many changes to try and improve on the story telling of our drama piece. We also added some stage directions and started a shot list for the film.
Here we are setting up for the shot were our protagonist is plugging in the plug to the dvd player. We had to set up the camera to be fit for the shot with the light coming through the window while Gemma set up the microphone to record the dialogue. We took Feloni lights with us to the set to try and set them up for professional lighting, but we ran into the issue of space. We were filming in a small room where the actors were required to move around in, the lights would have obstructed them from being able to do this.
