Filming Robin's Scene & planning

This image shows examples of effects that can be used on lighting. Shutters can block lighting to different limits allowing you to add special effects. As a group, we talked about using shutters to change the atmosphere of a scene. for example a grey or brown shutter to change set a warm scene and a purple shutter as it is a neutral colour that can reflect.

This is an image taken from what we found out about lights and beams. the stronger the beam the more the more light on the scene. We were looking for an autumn type lighting; yellow-brown, warm lighting. 

Here is a layout of the scene and the props we will be using. We went for a more antique, vintage look for originality and realisim. 

After we set up the scene we realised that even with the lighting it didn't look complete. So we decided to remove the black background and lay down a rug to make the scene look more homely, warm and realistic.

I laid down a large white coat that we used as a rug as the main member of our cast got into position. Using white  was a good idea because the neutral colour of the purple lighting reflects off it. Other colours we used on the also reflect of the purple giving the scene a warmer look.

We also got rid of the black curtains as they made the scene look dull.  We set up the white projector and decided to project images on the background.

We have asked members who study drama to help us with the lighting and to project an image on the projection board. This will help us create the scene the way we need it to be.

Here we looked at backgrounds. We chose a simple moving background to go with the meaning and the mood pf the song. The movement is slow symbolizing sadness 

This is an image of our main character in the video lip syncing along to the words of the song as we film him. The image was taken before we decided to change the background. However we kept the video so we can look go back on it incase we changed our mind or wanted to keep some shots.
