Location and Ideas - Part 2 - By Hannah

Location shots and ideas:

Corridor 

•    This is the corridor by the office we are planning to use and the door frame we are using to look like the door to the stairs for match on action.

• The office is on the left of the camera off shot and there is another room down the corridor that can't be seen in this shot.

• Our idea is that we are planning to use the camera for a pan shot from the door frame to this end shot. As the person will go to bathroom after this, and the doors do not match, we are going to have the person walk down the corridor and off the camera shot and we will then cut to the door handle to the bathroom door or the person walking into the other bathroom. However, we are still uncertain on this idea as we are worried this will affect the continuity in our film and we don't want to lose continuity. 

Lighting

• This is what the lighting in the bathroom looks like. We are planning on making flickering lights in the bathroom scene when we see the character in the mirror and this what the lighting looks like when we flick the lights on and off.

• The problems we may encounter with this is that the lights are very slow at turning back on, however, we they do, they do flicker. We are going to try and use these lights in the bathroom with our own lighting.

• If this idea does not work, we have decided that we can use the lighting kits the college provides and turn those lights on and off.

• This is the difference when the lights are on and off and we we want to achieve this flashing lights only faster so it appears to be a flashing on it's own. Another problem we encountered though was the light switch. The light switch was quite loud when turning it on so if we do use this location then we may put a cushion over the switch while doing flicking the switch so the noise is less loud in the scene.
