One Shot Film - First Attempts

One Shot Film - First Attempts
Below are my first attempts at a one shot film. The first is a simple lighting experiment that I attempted using two different colour filters on two lights, two members from my group then stood infront of the lights to create a shadow effect. I am really happy with the idea and the way that the two colours clash in order to represent the two different personalities of the figures in the video however the execution of the video was difficult. The main problems we concountered were the folded curtain that created shadows that weren't neccesary, it was also difficult to keep the actors out of shot as they had to stand in front of the lights. To edit the film I am hoping to add a filter or change to colours slightly to bring out the blue and red lighting more and possibly crop out the hand that wanders into shot.


The second one shot film is a much more basic idea of a meeting for a drugs deal, what I am particulary happy with is the use of shadow and clever lighting. You only see what the camera wants you to see the over the shoulder view ensures that you never see one of the figures, while I am editting I will also cut out the intro where you can see the bodyguards face to add to the mystery of the character making him feel more imposing.
