Construction: Reflections 3

Reflections 3:


Preparation




In terms of the preparation our group decided to create the first scene in a room which looked like a bathroom. We decided to make the first scene as a bathroom because we wanted to show the main character’s identity/personality.  We tried our best to make the scene look like a bathroom at home by getting props for decoration, display or for the character to use the props. We specifically chose the room because the space was convenient as we just moved some obstacles like chairs, mirrors etc. This helped make the scene look realistic.

Our group decided to bring some objects from home like brushes, cotton buds, soap etc. so that the room will look more lie home. We then brought a collection of knives in order to help the main characters personality. So we layered out the knives on top of a cloth so that it will be shown clearly. 

Also, for the display on the wall I printed out several of different random females, although the pictures were quite pixelated and some were in black and white we could have prevent this by getting better quality pictures and keep the consistency of black and white. Furthermore, we then decorated the pictures on the wall and scattered them everywhere with red crosses on each of the pictures. We brought our own paints which was specifically the colour red as it signifies blood. We used brushes to flick paint on them and then our fingers to draw the cross this conveys how psychotic the character is which was a brilliant idea, which came out successfully. 

We planned Romans costume which was a smart outfit for him because we wanted his identity to be sophisticated. Then, we deliberately applied red paint onto the main characters (Roman) hand in order to portray blood but we realized that the paint we used was quite dry so it was quite obvious that it was fake blood so we should have used ketchup to make it more realistic. Even people noticed that it was fake blood instantly.

Also, in terms of pictures I specifically put the 3 main victims apart from the main pictures to show what will happen to the 3 victims. We purposely put the 3 main pictures on the mirror as it is understandable/reasonable as it is Roman's next targets, from there we now had a brief idea for the next scene. 

In terms of lighting we constantly filmed during the day in order to keep the consistency in the film and have natural light upon Romans face and see every details in the room. However, there was a slight point where the sunlight possibly went down a bit so I decided bring my photography light just in case so I then prepared to adjust the light similar to the natural light in the room. Linking to lighting we then spoke about the camera angles and shots so we wrote down a plan of the angles and shot in the first scene. 

As a result, the ideas that was taken place was my idea since I am the creative artistic person in the group. We all have different talents to share within the group and that's how we all came together to prepare for the first scene.
