Test 1
Testing projections for waves of sorrow. I filmed the sea in brighton and projected it only a small set.
Test 2
I wasn’t happy with the shots of the sea so I went back to brighton and filmed some more. I then did another test, this time with the sea as the background behind me. I tried both projecting the sea onto a white sheet and keying out the white sheet to composite the sea behind me. I am unsure which I prefer.
Test 3
Testing lighting setups, lens, and projections
I am still unsure about keying the actors onto the background or sticking with projections, at the moment I am leaning towards the projections as I think they better capture the sense of disconnect and unreality.
This is a cut with some of my favourite takes, I think I will use projections for the film
I moved the projector back to give a bigger image so more of the backdrop will be in frame.
