New Recces

This will be Tashana’s bathroom it will be used for the opening scene of our short film where Joseph is coming out of the shower and doing up his shirt. The lighting from the window could present an issue, but we are not going to be filming towards the light we will be filming away from it facing the shower. The tripod and camera will be placed next to the toilet so that we could get our shot correct. Our next shot will be an over the shoulder shot, however the camera will have to be handheld to get the actor perfectly in the frame.

This bench is where the most important part of the short film will be. This is where the 2 characters cross paths and judge each other based on stereotypes, it will start with Edward sitting on the bench reading his newspaper and Joseph will join him and try to have a conversation. We will shoot in daylight and place the camera directly opposite the bench so that we have a long shot of both characters. We will also experiment with other angles to see which one suits the scene best.

This is the hallway Joseph will be in when he’s putting on his shoes and getting ready to leave for work. There could be an issue with lighting but we could get around that by not directing the camera at the light for this scene we will use long shots and close ups. The long shot is to show him sitting down and the close up is to show him tying his shoe laces.

This public toilet is for Edwards opening scene where he is getting ready for what the audience thinks is work. We will use both the natural and artificial light in this scene and it will be shot close up to not give away that it is a public toilet so the audience thinks it is his bathroom at home. We will also have a long shot of him carrying a little suitcase which is our subtle hint that he is homeless.

This area of greenery is for the end scene where we find out Edward is homeless and this is where he has been staying. It’s also where the audience get an insight on how he became homeless as he will have a picture on him which will come alive and show him losing his job and wife. This scene will be shot in natural light and it will consist of close ups and long shots. A close up of the picture and a long shot to show him sitting in the grass, fighting with his wife and getting fired.
