For our last shoot I contacted the Hannah McClure centre and got permission to use their theatre space which suited some conversations we had about how the art of cinema can help Marks depression. It turned out to be a great space for this and we had a lot of creative control for a few hours.
We were very pleased with the space but had to figure out how to do the lighting ourselves with a switch board as some of it wasn't working. It was a little tricky but we managed to figure it out enough to get some of the effects we wanted. We even brought our own reflectors just incase which ended up being sliver cooking trays since none were available from the university.
We also tried out different seating arrangements for the puppets for angels and to also hide oursevles it was also what best lighting worked out effectively.
Some lighting tests and also brought the puppets some 3D glasses.
We also had to make some readjustments to the puppets and also the seats with tape so the seats were held down by enough weight.
Mark ended up having to hide behind a curtrain to the side and had to control his puppet through bars while I hid under the seats with my arm inbetween them for mine. We also gave them some popcorn as extra props and to make the conversations more like a realistic situation at a cinema and in the context of the audio and environment. We also could hide the laptop in this way in reach of being able to mime the audio.
For some assitance since we had to stay in the same place ready to puppeteer Aimee Stewart was on hand for some help with direction, recording and lighting.
That's us shot all our conversations for assessment now it's over to Mark to edit it all together in Premier and handing over my sound files for him to place over the top of the footage. We also have plans for DVD as well as a poster and our set up for assessment displaying our work. But this plus finishing off the blog is what we will be working on in the next two weeks up to assessment.
