Lauren and I filmed this week and have now taken down the set. Our last shooting day is tomorrow, where we film the field scenes. Then we should have just enough time to edit, as that will be the longest part, especially as this is one of our longer projects. I feel like all the planning has paid off so far.
My shot list is below, which helped in simplifying the scenes and breaking them down. And also, breaking down what shots to get. Even with this planning, I still made notes on the day, as things change and you sometimes find that you capture something that you didn't think you would. I found that I had to think very quickly, and be adaptable, especially during the improv scenes where the actors were free to go where they like. What helped me, was the ability to expose, focus and frame the shot quickly (especially when changing lenses and with actors moving unpredictably). Most of the scenes were blocked out, so I knew what I was doing and what movements were needed. Some shots were better than others, which may make it tough to edit as there's quite a few good moments that we shot.
The last scenes we shot, will be in black and white. Hopefully they'll come out well. The lights were adjusted so we change to a more high key look. But there's a still an amount of work needed to be done in post. I'm also meeting with the composer and sound supervisor for this piece, some ideas have been shown, but I'm going to give them some more direction so the soundtrack moves along as we edit the film.
