Production Folder for 2 Minute Character Study

Here are the pre-production materials and the production stills for the 2 minute character study.
First off the schedule for the two days in which we had to shoot the project along with a brief shot list that we needed to carry out on those days, corresponding to the availability of the actors.

We stuck to the schedule very effectively on the shoot, only changing the shot list in a few minor ways when we deemed it to be necessary to pick up shots we hadn't thought of.

The cinematographer Matt, worked with the director, Chris, to draw up a rough storyboard for the rest of the crew so we knew what we were doing and the sort of shots we wanted to maximise efficiency when on set due to the time limitations we were dealing with.

The storyboard did differ slightly to the actual shots we obtained in the end, due to some geographical issues, as well as us wanting to change the lighting in practice to get a more desirable effect. However it did serve as a great tool when we were setting up for shots in terms of lighting and where to set up the props and actors.

Matt also drew up a floor plan that we all went over to see the space we had to work with and know where the best places would be to frame each shot. It also served as a good document for the risk assessment in terms of fire exits and possible hazards.

Finally here are some production stills taken while on set showing us setting up and actually filming the scene.

As editor on this project, I worked with Chris and Matt on set to give my opinion on what shots would work together and would cut nicely, as well as any continuity issues or other foreseeable problems that would come up in the editing process. I also help set up the lighting and helped out where I could in terms of dressing the set. All in all the shoots both went well and that is reflected in the final 2 minute film.
