My Ideas
For the Birmingham shoot, I want to capture the busy nature of a large city. I will aim to include lots of footage of people passing by, large buildings, busy traffic etc in order to reflect this. I will try to avoid shots that include my subject as I want to get across the idea of you being just a number in a big city, rather than an individual - the idea that nobody knows your name, the idea that you're just one person in the grand scheme of things. To illustrate this idea further I may even try to avoid shots of peoples faces completely, as if to highlight the fact that nobody really has a known identity in a massive city.
Lighting
Much like in my Bridlington shoot, I plan on using mainly high-key ambient lighting, using natural day light as my light source. However, as I am going to be filming whilst in a huge city, I may also include footage indoors using lighting from shops, neon lights, car headlights, fairy lights, etc.
Audio
The audio will be predominantly diegetic sound recorded in-camera, similar to the way that new wave filmmakers like Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut recorded their audio on tight budgets, with small camera crews and limited time. I may also add non-diegetic sound in the form of music in post-production.
Location
Although I filmed most of my footage in Bridlington, there were still gaps that needed filling in. I decided to shoot some footage in Birmingham, specifically The Custard Factory, because of it's vibrant and busy atmosphere. I thought that this would be a nice contrast to the relaxed atmosphere of Bridlington.
Camera Equipment
- Canon EOS 700D
- 18-55mm Lens
- Tripod
- 64GB 90MB/S SD Card
Risk Assessment
During the shoot, I ensured that I considered all of the necessary health and safety rules. I made sure that my equipment was clearly visible to passers by, my actor(s) and myself so as to avoid any trips or falls that may result in injury or damage of the equipment, as well as putting all of it away when it wasn't in use.
