This Monday, the focus of the lesson was on brand image, and how we can use advice and apply it to our own project – see Lauren’s post for a write-up of the lesson. Tuesday and Thursday’s lessons were focussed on narrative theory, including different practitioners such as Todorov and how his theories apply to our work.
The focus of Wednesday and Friday’s lessons was the planning and organisation of the scheduled re-shoot for all of our casino footage. Following feedback from the rough-cut stating that the lighting needed improvement along with the authenticity of the set, we have planned several improvements to ensure that the final product of the shoot is more professional:
-While still being filmed in the black-box drama studio at school, we will hang different coloured drapes in the background to add some variety to the colour and a luxurious aesthetic.
-Several more tables will be in the background with additional supporting actors playing different casino games such as Blackjack and Roulette - though they will not be the focus of the shot, they will greatly aid the mise-en-scene and altogether create a more believable casino scenario.
-An entirely new poker table has been created as a more realistic playing surface (see additional blog post).
-We have booked out low-level lighting in addition to the spotlights of the drama studio to combat the shadows on the actors' faces which so greatly affected the quality of the rough cut.
The final task this lesson was to go through both the rough cut and animatic as a group and make a list of every single shot we will need to capture, to maximise efficiency and avoid time-wasting.
