The Babysitter Shoot

The Babysitter shoot went well! We got everything filmed that we needed to in the time we planned, using the slider, track & dolly, tripods and shoulder rig. Filming everything with Mr Borden first so one of our actors could leave was our first good choice as this created more space and made sure the actor wasn't waiting around. The rest of the shoot ran smoothly with Cassie however I do feel that I should have used the shoulder rig less than I did, it was useful in a lot of shots however sometimes I was just using it for static shots. In retrospect I should have asked the director if I could move to a tripod but I did not so I feel some of the shots may be a tad wobblier than they would have been otherwise. One of the most interesting shots in the short was the shot of Cassie on the floor in the kitchen because it was a great chance to use some less conventional lighting, the shot is lit using the lights hidden under the kitchen counters, changing the lights to red added more to the dangerous tones of the section.
