day 2 shoot evaluation
In this second shoot we attempted to counteract the difficulties that when encountered in the initial shoot. In order to do this changed a couple of things but kept the same lighting setup using the same camera settings and gels on the light. Firstly we discovered how to switch the macro lens to its manual focus capability. This allowed us to have much more control over where the camera focussed, allowing us to perform pull focusses and framing shots to how we wanted, gaining effective depth of field. This also allowed us to keep the subject in focus rather than the focal point moving and ranging.
Another thing we changed in this shoot was that we kept the use of hand held shots to a minimum and ensured that we used a tripod or shoulder rigs when filming in order to record stable and smooth footage. This still and smooth footage allowed us to achieve a sense of calmness with the stillness of the camera. Here we could experiment with movement of the subject rather than movement of the camera. We also experienced with smooth pans/tilts and general camera movement. We filmed a range of parts of the body such us collar bones, shoulders, backs, mouths as well as extreme close ups where we focus on the texture. With extreme close ups we had to film parts of the body that were hairless as we felt that seeing lots of hair on the body would automatically cause the audience to assume that it is a male. So therefore we wanted to keep the audience guessing the identity of the character and ultimately achieving a sense of enigma, which intrigues the audience further.
