Recce Filming

Today we went down to Brighton to film our recce and plan out our locations. Unfortunately, we had problems with the weather due to the storm so we worked our way round the house instead planning how we could film each shot inside the house.

First we made a note of all the shots inside the house and then started to do a recce of each of the shot. For this we had to take it in turns to be the subject of the shot whilst the other played with the lighting to see what it looked like on camera and made note of the best lighting for each shot. One problem that we  faced was that it was very difficult to make it the lighting look natural as when we used the overhead lighting there was too much light and when we didn't, it looked too much like an artificial spotlight.

On the second day it was still raining, so we began to test out a couple of shots with the real actress so that me and Bea could properly have a look at the lighting together without having to switch in and out of the camera. We also continued to recce lighting in other parts of the house.
