[13/09/17] Contextual Studies: Production 01 - Contextual Approach (Part 2)

Yesterday the 4 of them (excluding me) shot the very first scene of the film.

This is the part where Zara (Pathologist) was walking with Alex (Electrical Engineering) and talking about the project.

I find this scene really interesting because how well they shot it.
They shot it from the front where they focused on their faces and their conversation and move along their back as they are walking outside the lab and they stopped for a while where Alex said "Wait. Did you hear that?" and both of them ran towards the noise which will change to the scene where they are running towards the stairs.

At this scene we shot in 3 different angles. From the back, from the front and when they reach at the destination.

You can see the perspective/space we used in each angles. The first one where I took from the back has that perspective vibe to it and also it looks like they are running up the stairs even in a still image like that. The second scene where Eka shot in that angle. We focus more on their faces as they are running up the stairs and the third scene where I shot it in a semi-wide angle. Which also involves the rule of third in this shot.

As of lighting usage.

In the part where Alex and Zara was walking and we shot it from the back of them. The lighting references can be taken from this photograph.

Where their bodies become a silhouette and the lights comes more from front of them.

An example of a scene where we shot that has a great example of the light usage.

This where Zara was walking back towards the lab/office. The walkway to the lab has that underground feel to it as you can see above. I labelled Zara in the red box as that is a silhouette of her walking towards her office. To show that the light is more towards above her than towards herself.
