SEXUAL SEDUCTIONS
Since our principle photography was pushed back a week, on Thursday, I took Victoria up to my dad's office for location scouting. She found it extremely helpful, as she can now plan the whole storyboard location-specifically (no more guesswork about the layout of an office.)
We also found a long corridor where we can do our dolly zoom shot, but i'm not sure if it will work, since when the actress stands there, the background will be too close for an effective dolly zoom. But we have a very long corridor, so it might work if we dolly through the whole length of corridor and speed the whole thing up post-production.
On Friday, I was pretty frustrated because we were not able to check the boom pole out; Jody's group still hasn't returned it. On Saturday, I called their group up and arranged from Ryan to pick it up from KeiKei on Saturday night, since they will be going to the same dance rehearsal.
Sunday was principle photography day. My dad and I went to his office first, and put down our things. I brought a trolley, Nikon camera (for my blog), and various things that we might have needed. I then went to the MTR to pick up the rest of the group and the actor/actress. My dad then called to say that he took the wrong key and had to drive to his colleague's house to get the correct key.
Most of the group arrived on time, but Philip was still missing after 15 minutes. We tried calling him but he wouldn't answer. We decided to go back to the office. Whilst waiting for my dad, we set up and practised our dolly zoom shot on the trolley. Philip texted us a few hours into shooting, asking if he still needed to come...... :S
Ryan going over the shot log and preparing himself for what he will do next.
Victoria going through the script/storyboard with actor/actress.
Jay checking camera and tapes.
Our group waiting outside the office.
Trying the dolly zoom.
I must say that filming took a much shorter time this time, compared to my previous projects. This is because we were much more organised, and actually got things done on time.
I must commend the actor/actress. Their roles were not easy at all, but they did an absolutely terrific job for high school students.
We did not have problems with sound. The office environment was very quiet and we got perfect audio.
However, we did have trouble with the dolley. It was shaking a lot and it didn't go straight at all. We decided to ditch that idea and did a zoom in/out with dutch angle instead.
When we filmed outside at the podium, the security guard told us to get off their property to film, so we went down a flight of stairs onto the public road. The sound quality was alright, but the central lighting was absolutely amazing.
