Today we filmed the dialogue between Dave and Gary. It was the first time we used the specialist equipment so was a big learning curve. We had to think about the lighting, the audio boom, the camera angles as well as the actors performance. We only had Sonia, Jack, Matt and I there instead of the whole cast because we planned to use close ups or tighter therefore did not need the others in shot. We learnt that moving the lights and equipment to get a good shot took a long time therefore it took a long time to film the shots we need.
We used a shot list to help us make sure we got everything we needed;
- Extreme close up of Dave’s eyes
- Pained shot of Dave (at different Dutch tilt levels)
- Gary close up – ‘trouble? Wanna back out?’
- Close up Dave – ‘Course not’
- Establishing wide shot of Gary, Dave and Dealer at the table
- Dave pushing the chips into play
During filming we did find that the line ‘Course not’ did not work as it seemed like a more immediate response, whereas we wanted a pause for thought from Dave. Therefore, we decided to change the line to ‘No way’.
