Pre-Production: Shoot 3


Within the third shooting session with my actor I filmed the bathroom to kitchen and kitchen scenes. The footage I filmed for this shoot show the actor moving from the bathroom to the kitchen and then sitting at the kitchen table. I re shoot this last section with my actor changing tops and doing different actions to enable me, when editing, to overlay and distort the time sequence between the footage to express the repeated actions the character follows everyday. These two clips I used one after the other to connect the two locations (the bathroom and the kitchen) together.

When I edited these clips I minimized the warmth level, giving a cooler tint to the footage. This enabled the footage to fit in with the previously cool toned clips and enabled me to connote the mental health of the character. The first footage linked in this post is a mid shot of the actor leaving the bathroom and walking into the kitchen. The bottom clip is a low mid shot, capturing the actors hand reaching and opening the bathroom door. These two clips overlap and show the continuous movement of the actor walking.
