week 8: update on BOX

We began our test shoot at the Bowls Club. It was a freezing night and everything was swinging in the wind especially these huge lights they have on the old green, which looks like it hasn’t changed from the 1940s. The lovely owner is  easy going, he gave us some champagnes at the end of our test.

I decided most of the action is going to happen in the club room right down the front, It has these huge windows looking out on the green, and those swinging lights eerily illuminated the room. The owner left and I definitely saw some ghosts.
There’s this great locker room to the side with the grey school lockers and this bizzare carpet, trophies and flowers. I really want to write something into the script as an excuse to use it, but if we don’t it’s a great spot for a selfie so I’ll put it to use that way.

Though the club room is amazing, I can’t wait to shoot on the green. I have my dolly with me and I storyboarded this shot of the couple dancing and we do a full 360 degree rotation of the camera around them, showing off the magnitude of the space and their total isolation. So much potential!
