For the test shoot, we do not plan to include all appropriate costumes and props as we want to test the lighting and will not have the full cast available on that day. After the corridor scene test shoot, we will have a rehearsal with all of the actors in order to choreograph their movements as this scene is particularly difficult to manage. The timings of dialogue and action during this scene must be precise, so it is essential to inform the actors of how the shot is going to be filmed. As well as a test shoot for the corridor scene, we plan to film a run-through to show where the actors will be in the shot.
Reflections: A test shoot was crucial to our project as it allowed us to notice and fix any lighting errors in particular, and see if our ideas were possible in practice. The second test shoot (inside the house) required more editing techniques rather than camera techniques as we planned to include a split screen and short takes. After having filmed the test shoots, we have decided to produce one long take for the final scene as this was effective in showing the isolation of Arthur's character as he walks through the school corridor. An issue with this scene was the noise that the camera tripod made (wheels on the floor) however, this can be minimised by using speed cream on the wheels. For the other location, we plan to change a few camera angles and shoot earlier in the day (before 11am) for better lighting. Overall, both of the shoots went well apart from minimal issues that we will fix for the main shoot.
