Narrative work
After the Production Surgery seminar today, me and Sid went to take the pictures for our stills. We were planning to take the images last week, but due to the problem with arranging cars (for taxi) and police officer,being consistance in clothes..etc, we've decided to work on it today.
Since we've made a detailed lists (story board) of what pictures need to be taken, so at first I thought it wouldn't take too long taking the pictures on my digital camera..but I was wrong!! It actually taken us about a whole day do take pictures here and there in Nottingham.
Although we knew what pictures we needed to take, we had to decide carefully on how the image is being taken i.e. what sort of angle is effective, what kind of background is relevant..etc.
We discussed on the image taken and if it doesn't look good, then we took another one.
The greatest achievement that we had today was that we actually got a permission from the police officer to be in our narrative! (But its just two shots!) Anyways, it is better to have a real police officer rather than having to have a student dressed like a police officer.
What I've learnt today was that 'Just taking pictures' can take ages! A small tiny thing can ruin our plans when working outside and in groups. For example, weather can cause a great effect, if it rains we have to take the images some other day and this will ruin our plan (timetable). Or another example, if the actor (a main character) is ill, then it'll also change the whole schedule. So I think planning ahead would be the key, because anything can happen during our production whether we like it or not!!
