FICTION ADAPTATION - TESTING SET-UP

I needed to see how my whole set up would work for the main bulk of my film. I plan to film this in the studios in lecture room 1 where I will have space and control over light. There have been many changes to the set up as planned as I was at one point going to have red curtains behind my actor opening and closing, instead I have gone for the option of having my actor sitting in what would appear to be a red corner (phone box).

The next stage of this was to think about projection. I looked into this with research as shown in previous blogs, and have come to the conclusion that its the right route to go down. It will give me options and allow me to project images when they are cued by the voice over.

The test was quite successful and only confirmed my suspicions that this can be very effective and if I pull it off I will have a great piece of work to present.

I plan to do another final practise on Monday before shooting on Tuesday.

I will be shooting the beginning and end of the poem in separate locations with the help of Jess and Plamen. Opening in a park with my arc like a pagan ritual and then somehow recreating the sense of being under-water for the final scene.
