#18- Filming Day One
January 1st, 2024
Today I had my first day of filming with Elliana Gorecki. I asked her the questions from my last blog post to allow the audience to get to know more about her. The interview will enlighten the audience not only about her life but her personality as well. I feel like I did an okay job at creating a conversation like interview.
The set up process:
I got to the filming location (my grandmothers home) and hour before I told Elliana to arrive. This gave me more than enough time to set up the filming set and test it with my grandmother.
1. This item was my second camera I used to film. This camera allowed for a different perspective of the interview. It was a side angled close-up shot. This will allow a break from the constant mid shot and focuses on the facial expressions of Elliana.
2. This item is the main camera for the interview. It allowed for a basic mid shot where Elliana is looking directly at. It will allow the audience to feel that they are sitting right across from her and participating in a conversation with her. Every interview has this type of shot, some lack the close-up shot that I also conducted.
3. This item is one of the lighting tools I had used. This is specifically a basic studio light, it came in a pack of two. I use both to light up the face of Elliana for the interview because they were used as key lighting. The rest of the lighting used is natural lighting/practical lighting. The backlighting is the natural lighting. The light from outside is being let in by the window behind her. The practical lighting comes from above her, it is the built in lighting for the house. At first I had it off, but the shot was too dark. All of the lighting helped greatly.
