We've had our first attempt at shooting our footage. Some shots where difficult as the tripod we used was too rigid and didn't allow for smooth panning shots so we had to shoot these free hand. Unfortunately they weren't particularly steady so we will have to re-shoot these. Our biggest problem however was the lighting. When considering the mise-en-scene we chose to have quite minimal lighting to create a low key effect. However in doing this we did not put enough consideration into how the camera will respond to this. There was too much contrast in the lighting and the exposure varied dramatically and in a lot of the shots the character is undesirably silhouetted.
Whilst there are a few issues with our current footage, it shouldnt be too difficult to get back on track as we have a setting already set up, our actors are cast and we liked the camera angles we achieved last time, there was just a problem with the lighting. As there is no diegetic sound its quite an easy sequence to film as actors dont have to memorise lines nor do the shots we take have to go in a specific order, that is a decision we can make in the editing stage.
