Dummy Run





From the very beginning of this video you can see one of the problems it has helped us notice. You can hear other peoples conversations very clearly which distracts the viewer from what they can see on screen. Because of the very intimate settings of the café we will have to try and work around this and capture a time when it is quiet or as my idea stands at this point in the OTS we are supposed to get a sense of the femme fatale being in her own world so no sound could work quite well at this point or just quiet background noise of the café.
The second problem you can see is that when we are backtracking the femme fatale rummaging in her bag the camera is very shaky, experimenting with shots will have to be done to overcome this. We could even put the camera in one place and zoom out as the femme fatale walks towards the camera to give that back tracking feel but with a more steady frame.
When it comes to editing it is clear that letterboxing could also be an issue because of the different clips, I will have to talk to Melissa about possible leaving all letterboxing till the very end to avoid any problems with different sizes of letterbox styles.

Doing this has given us a good opportunity to gage on how long it will take to film as well as how many different shots we have to remember. It will help us because we can refer back to our film or visually remember it instead of just a shot by shot list (which we will also have there to help us).
