I'm thinking as this pilot episode will be set in the 1940's, an would ultimately be shot like a period piece, then perhaps when we do begin to complete test shoots, to shoot them on 35mm film rolls. I feel it would capture & portray the whole concept & aesthetic much more appropriately then to use to a DSLR. The test shoots shall be lit & set up accordingly, as we will be wanting to just capture the general tones of the location and present the completed shoots how we would present a recce shoot.
So once i've completed the storyboarding, i'll then choose specific scenes to carry out the test shoots on.
How will you decide on which scene to test shoot?
I'll test shoot a scene which would clearly portray & demonstrate how the vodcast would look and be shot in actuality. A scene with the most creative flexibility that would hopefully underpin what we set out to achieve.
What camera would be used on these test shoots?
I would be shooting on my own 35mm SLR, the Olympus OM2N. As i'm extremely familiar with this camera and fully aware of its capabilities i feel it'd be a suitable choice for capturing images of these particular style.
Obviously these will be stills, so within them, will the people be in costume?
It all depends, theoretically it would be ideal to have the people i'd be shooting in costume that fits the piece & scene, however from a cinematic perspective, i just want to test out the framing & lighting, to make sure that it's genuinely viable & achievable.
Overall i'm happy with the progression so far made regarding the storyboarding and hope soon to have a completed storyboard to display!
