OH - Reflection on shoot (Paint Shoot Re-Done)

When, Where and Who?

Last Thursday we all headed to my house to shoot half of the intro which included the paint throwing. We had to do this at my house as I was the only one who offered up a location so we did it in my room as the lighting was good and there was a wall that was big enough to get the framing right. Myself, Brad and Freddie all went to my house to sort out the set and film the scene.

My role in production

As it was shot at my house i organised the set before they both arrived, and when they did i made sure the framing was right for the shots and made sure that Brad was in the same framing size for all of the shots. Also as it was in my house i had to clean up the set afterwards, unfortunately as we were in a rush to return to school in time it meant that i couldn't truly clean it up in time, which resulted in the powder paint staining the carpet which will have to be industrially cleaned as a result.

How useful was the shot-list?

As there was only one type of framing needed for the scene there wasn't much need for a shortlist as we just recorded every time that the paint got thrown onto Brad. However it did mean that we made sure we got the pictures for the print campaign done, which was handy.

What were your best shots?

All of the shots we took were decent. However some of the paint throwing shots were better than others as the paint would explode on the face better in some shots than others. However as they were all shot at 60fps, when slowed down all of them will look very good. 

Any problematic shots?

Well as a result of the mess with the powder paint you could say that they were all relatively problematic due to the fact that we tried to limit the amount of mess that was made by not throwing it a hard at Brad, however they still made lots of mess which was a shame for myself.
