Sample scenes

 IN THIS POST: SAMPLE SCENES, PREPARATION, FEEDBACK, SCREENPLAY

We recorded some sample scenes before creating a rough cut. This was to test shot types, dialogue, refine the narrative, and practice continuity editing.

SAMPLE SCENE 1 PREP:

Rough Screenplay: (this was created knowing we will refine the dialogue later)

Equipment: 

• iPhone 11
• Tripod
• Desk Tripod

Props:

• Glasses
• Hair Tie
• Tank top
• Tape
• Candy
• Plate

Our props were very limited, as for mise-en-scene and set dressing, our set is also not a permanent choice. We filmed to get a better idea of potential shots, framing and other challenges. 

Our cast was simply Leila and I as we hadn't found actors yet.

SAMPLE SCENE 1 MY REFLECTION:

The 180 rule complicated our opportunities for shot variety in the common room kitchen. On the real set there will be more interesting shot opportunities.

Filming in the forrest: I'd like it to be darker for better atmosphere and so that we can play with lighting + narrative enigma. 

Minor editing adjustments such as sound continuity (weird sound cut mid word).

I think we should incorporate more direction and precision for acting.
