Production log 03

Where: Maddie H's house
Who: Maddie H, Niamh, George
Equipment: DSLR
Purpose: Recording narrative for male victims death

This sequence happened due to the narrative changing - we originally planned for the death to happen in a bar, but changed the narrative so our protagonist seduced and killed a man back at her home. This made it a lot easier to scout out a location, as all of our houses had what we needed. However, we found my house had the best lighting and look with many blocky colours. As we needed to shoot all the scenes of the the seduction and man's death, we expected this would take the two hours allocated. We were correct, and everything was shot, with room for re-shooting if we felt necessary.

There were little issues with this shoot as we had all the props necessary, and most of our issues were with performance and lighting. As my kitchen is mostly glass, the unpredictability of the lighting on a cloudy day caused issues, meaning if we had to wait a couple times to wait for the sun to come back out. Also, since neither of the actors were professional actors, we had a few performance issues and both needed to be coached.
