Recce - Further Blocking and Test Filming

The Producer and Director decided to meet few days before the scheduled film shoot. We met with the equipment Camera, Lights and Microphone Boom. This made blocking camera positions and movement much easier.

I would have recommended to actually record some test foot and view it back on monitor to review the blocking and shot composition. This would have been helpful in achieving the best outcomes for our final shots.

Looking at the area we have to film in, here we decided that the best way for the characters to enter and how they interact with each other.

We tested different ways for the characters to enter... what action they could be doing. We had tested the conversation happening the end of the day/shift or during break time. But we decided due to the nature of the theme being a thriller it made sense that it was after the end of the day. In the evening when fewer people/colleagues are around.

The set was started to be put together by the production designer, Printing safety signs and buying High Visibility vests to add to the nature of room being a Construction Site office.

The Set is starting to come together, Simple items create the intent atmosphere and look needed to convert the room to a construction site office.
