First Shoot

We did our first shoot for the project on Sunday the 21st of February, in this shoot we filmed the part of our project that consists of the main character getting ready to go to a poker game.

We used Sim's dad for the main role as he fits well with the physical appearance envisioned by Sim for the main character, an average, perhaps lesser built or smaller man in the age range of mid 30s to 40s.
The room used was Sim's lounge as it is a relatively plain room with a large mirror which was needed, for this shoot the background did not matter as much as in the others as the main focus of the shots was the main character.
We filmed close up and abstract shots of him getting ready, mimicing the style of shots used frequently in noir films. The light also all came from a single source held up in a corner of the room which gave us high contrast between light and dark, and strong shadows.
