Day31 28/02/08

Its my turn to be shot, not really shot as in gunshot but camera shot, never mind.

The initial plan was to shoot at the Project1 classroom, however, I felt that it didn't really had anything to do with Photography or video fundamentals. Thus Greg and I went to look around and finally we found our ideal room.

I must say that it was the first time I have been in there, it was really creepy initially. The atmosphere was chilly and the area looked as though some murderous incident took place. Oh well, its just part of my wild imagination, after all...its just the very famous darkroom of Design school.

I tried to look for the switch to light up that area, however, we walked one big round and into the dark area. It was so dark, I couldn't even see my fingers. We didn't realised that we had actually walked one big round until we arrived at the entrance, where all the light switch were, something that we didn't take note of in the first place.

Raj then arrived, followed by Wendy then we started setting up the place, we decided to to use the walkway towards the room with red light for it gave a very interesting perspective and the lighting were ideal as it gave a warm feel to the shots.

For this shot, we decided to apply some new techniques like a very slow pan that reveals more of the area. We also thought of the idea of using the reflection to give an interesting composition. I can really rely on my teammates for they are rather skilled in doing all these too. Kudos to them.

I was actually surprised that Greg's hands were very firm in terms of handling the camera. Together with Wendy's role of maintaining the sound and Raj's directing the the scene, we were done in no time and I think we only used a small portion of the tape. All was finished fast that day, good job Crewsade.
