Filming - Experimental

Filming yesterday went very well, we had a rough storyboard but we felt that sticking to a strict storyboard doesn't work best for us when shooting, as we always come up with new ideas and different ways in which the film could me shot at. So we kept to the basic storyboard whilst thinking of new ways throughout filming process. Filming in my house went well as we had plenty of space to work in and the projector on the background wall looked even better than we thought. All the objects used in the film were precisely chosen before hand to match and contrast in each projected background and to our take on Erwin Wurms "One Minute Sculptures". For example in one of the shots, the character is inside of a chair whilst spinning around slowly, and the background is of an aquarium with hundreds of fish, using Erwin Wurm's chair art work of a man looking trapped with a chair over him, and putting it with that background it shows that the aquarium traps the hundreds of fish inside.
Filming outside went very well, we again had the basic storyboard to use as a guideline so we knew before hand which everyday objects the character was going to use. So we used the outside locations and objects pretty close to our original basic storyboard.
The opening shot we are going to use is of a blue smoke blowing across the screen, this was done by simply blowing smoke across the projector and then filming it and editing it in post production after.
All in all the filming went well and I feel the projector shots are very strong but the outside shots aren't as strong.
