This is the last week of whole semester. I helped Evelyn and William filming their scene in weekend. They both did a good job. In the scene of Evelyn, the usage of dolly is pretty good. The smooth movements of camera leading viewers gradually watch the actions of characters in a mysterious way. William did two creative long takes. These two long takes is similar with action film, I think it is pretty cool. He shoot the Actor’s action in a fluent and tightly way.
In addition, I shoot my final scene in the end of this week. In this scene I come back to the two people dialogue shot, however, I firstly use the lighting. This scene is a divorce situation between a man and his wife. I want to emphasize the depressed, intense atmosphere in this situation, so I turn off the light in my home, getting a black background, and I choose one yellow light to build shadows in action’s face. However, in the second shot, the lighting looks a little bit dark. In addition, as I said with robin, through this experience, I realized that it is not easy to use light, especially more than one light, I am so lucky because I haven’t choose more light.
In this scene, I tried to use some low angel shots for characters and props. I found this type of shot, which cooperates with light might shows the depressed and struggle emotion of characters.
Also, I designed one pulling focus shot for the woman and man. Compare with other shots, I think this shot can be more cooperates with lighting to clearly and show their both reaction in the same time when they say the key lines. In this case, viewers may feel the emotion of them.
