Last week before half term we intended to do a screen test at least with the main actors but the plan was eventually cancelled because of lack of availability. Many people had left the school ahead of time for the break or were taking official exams.
Nevertheless, my group and I went to the studio to get an insight of what was being prepared there in terms of set and check if our chosen camera angles and arrangements were possible to do and effective, as well as the choreography. At first, Luke showed us part of our set, which was already being built. One of the walls was there, and we could decide to paint it or put any wallpaper that we'd like out of the ones available. The door was also there, and so was an old chair which we will use. The parquet floor was starting to get some shape, and Luke offered us to bring the bed —without matress— so that we could practice for a while with the camera, some hands-on experience.
Mike eventually popped in because we were arguing about the position of the camera. I am glad to say that he shared the same point of view as me. He taught us some depth of field by using some chairs of different colours and insisted on the fact that the take should be continuous throughout most of the scene, the whole scene if possible. He also agreed that it should barely move from right behind the bed.
