Major Project Unit: Project Update

We had our first auditions today. I feel they went well, they were professional and took direction well. We had some improvisational situations to work with them on, which we filmed. One method was to open a box and act out what is inside through showing certain emotions. Another more challenging task was to look down into the lens and let a mixture of emotions wash over their faces, from sadness to laughter. More auditions next week. 

There's a certain video that inspired me over the summer break. Below are some stills from it's behind-the-scenes video. I'm trying to go through and examine what goes into the video, from set design to lighting, camera angles and positioning.

This set had 4 walls, you can see below the forth wall is on the right. Our set has three walls, so it's a similar set-up. I'll double check the lighting plan for the studio we're using before we place our set as the lights aren't movable, so we place our set around the lights.
