The main ideas for this project were originally a film noir. However it was pointed out to us, that this would be excessively hard for our group. So, it was decided to have a modern film noir movie. Due to the tension of the script and short movie, we used a lot of short shots.
We researched online film noir clips, and lighting techniques. I redrew Najhet’s (Director) storyboards. This helped me visualise my camera shots and angles.
Personally, I have no real previous experience with filming. So this project was a learning curve for me. However I feel I have developed this skill sufficiently and I’m quite proud of our final product.
The locations I found were not all relevant for our filming. However, it was the alleyway scene that changed the most. The alleyway i found was too close to housings and was far too narrow for any side shots. We relocated to an alleyway further away, which effectively was better than the original, in lighting, location, appearance and spacing.
I have learnt how to control the iris in a camera. I have learnt how to contribute to a group.
I would either: stick to the script, and not change it, or completely rewrite the script, based on the 'unknown information' that the character Colin found. Changing the script for our own devices created a few problems and loose ends.
I would like to do more filming for other people. I find it enjoyable. Perhaps some short films or one shot videos.
