initial prop and lighting ideas - Bradley Mills

Props
The props for the policeman wont be a problem as I have access to the MET outfit through family relations. The ipod and ipod player can be used from my dads player and my ipod which I will then use a prop, The music can be added in through editing.


The products used in the shoplifting scene can be purchased at the store, And with permission from the staff we will be able to shoot this scene effectively.

We will need a milk bottle for the 'Milking scene' I want to use a bottle because this will be a more realistic prop, but if we cannot get a 'glass milk bottle' we will go to a supermarket and find the next best thing.


We will need a newspaper for the tracking shot where the character 'Jack' will take the newspaper out of the letter box of somebody's house and will read it as he continues to walk.


For the disabled parking scene we will ask a friend of Wills to shoot the scene with his car and then cut so that I 'Jack' will appear to exit the car.
We will try to shoot this at a high angle as to show the disabled sign clearly however this may prove to be difficult to pull off so we will try a variation of different shots and edit them in pre production in order to create the best outcome.

This video shows another way of filming this scene, where we could see the car already in the disabled parking space and have the character walking normally towards the car and driving off, however we would shoot this in a way that would involve more camera angles and cuts to make it more 'cinematic'.


we could possibly use both ideas of the high angle shot to show the character walking towards the car and then cut to closer shots as the car drives away this would mean that the audience would see 'Jack' entering the car and the owner of the car can drive off.


Lighting notes
The lighting could be important depending on the time of day that we shoot vs the time of day that we want to create in the film due to time restrictions and limitations, however it is dark now in the mornings as well as night this could be a good way to combat the time restrictions we face with ambient lighting.
There will be no real need for added lighting because of the genre of movie that we are making, in thrillers typically lighting is used to convey certain aspects of the film and characters to the audience however it is not clear how lighting could enhance our movie.
