We visited the locations where we plan to shoot the film.
We began filming shots and experimenting with camera angles to find shots for the final shoot, however we did not have our actor so used a stand in actor.
We experienced various problems, for example we could not get the room smokey enough for the opening sequence. We will probably use a fan to create the smokey atmosphere that we want during the final filming.
For the second sequence at Pacific Place we experienced various lighting problems, which would obviously effect cinematography as it is vital to see what is being filmed. To solve this problem we will bring lighting equipment, possibly the large lights available at school, to the shoot with us.
Thoughts: The opening of the music video for 'One' by Metallica, when the shadows of the fan are used as wipe cuts of sort.
The scene in Infernal Affairs when Andy Lau and Tony Leung meet on the rooftop in Hong Kong, this is how i would picture the rooftop meeting scene at Pacific Place as they use Hong Kong brilliantly as a backdrop.
I really liked the shots of the tap in USA's short film entry to the 9/11 short film collection, the imagery was very thought provoking and would like to use this sort of extreme close up in my film.
