Production - filming

Today we shot our short film noir, following the roles of :

Me: - Producer
       - Lighting
Sami - Director
         - Camera

Although we each had individual roles we were able to put forward each of our own opinions and in my opinion worked really well as a team.
I also decided to take my SLR camera and tripod so that we could film behind the scenes and also take still shots... but doing this i thought we could use the photos for our poster and then the "behind the scenes" footage for our evaulations and also as an extra on our final product.

We faced a few problem today in which weren't great but we were able to solve:
- Our original actor for "Charlie Kane" was unable to arrive at the time we'd arranged as he had other arrangements, so we had to find another actor and gratefully jonathon collard stepped in at the last minute.
- i'd not had very much practise in terms of using the lights until an hour before shooting, so i had to use that time briefly to try to attempt different lighting techniques.. such as; using the letterbox lighting upon the femme fatale's eyes, to enhance her feature and her overall beauty.
