Summary of Previous Week

I've gotten a chance to take out the camera and lighting equipment. I'm not ready to film quite yet so I've done some test shots. I do know what I need to film. I will have two master shots of Ken talking to the camera. Everything else will be B-roll. I kindda forgot how to use the camera too so I sorta had to relearn everything. Regarding my test shots, I'm playing around with the composition of the shot to get it the way I want it.

My first test shot was reviewed on Friday and it didn't turn out so well. The image was flat and it didn't pop. Basically the shot was dull in my opinion. I've gotten some feedback and made some notes and I plan on doing some more test today. The problem was that I used a V-light as a back light which is way too bright. I'm going to try bouncing the V-light off of the wall or if that doesn't work just get rid of the V-light altogether.

Regarding Ken, I will meet with him tomorrow to discuss the story boards that I've come up with.
