Test Shoots

After our test shoot we realised lighting and space were going to be a real issue. We at first noticed during the shoot that the original set was way too detailed and had bedside tables, clothes and general room clutter all over the place. The oiginal intention was to make the set appear realistic and 'lived-in' however this soon became difficult to maneuver around and we made sure to remove many of the props in the room and keep a simplsitic and stylysed set.
We only realised lighting was an issue during our editing session the next morning where we realised that the poor an dark lighting had created a grain on the camera which affected the continuity of each shot and made an undesirable visual pixelation on the footage.However, we decided the idea of a film grain on the camera would attribute to the 'proffesional amateur' style we wanted where it would look like a home movie whilst appearing proffesionally produced.
