The Sunday shoot date is approaching fast and I set aside today (Friday) to start putting together my set in my garage. The plan is to shoot about 7-8 pages on Sunday and reserve another evening to do some pickups and some promotional stills.
In order to move that quickly, I’m going to utilize my garage set. I have two breakaway walls that I built previously, a couple brick pattern panels, and a mock desk (which is just 5 panels sitting on a fold up table).
To start – I wanted to have the detective’s angle setup right when we start on Sunday. We’ll take about an hour or so to shoot this angle, then I’ll move the brink panels around and redress the set to get a the girl’s angle. This may take about a half an hour as we’ll have to redo everything including the lighting.
By that time it should be around 1PM (starting at 9AM, 10AM start shooting, 11AM redress with break, 12PM Shoot reversal) – we’ll have a casual lunch which my other actors arrive.
Then we’ll move everything back but leave it up and shoot the interrogation scene. The scene is suppose to take place in a studio lot so I can double all the production gear as props.
I want to try to keep the camera setups rather simple for the “interrogation” scene though if we’re on schedule, we can probably pull it off between 2PM – 6PM. At which we’ll have dinner.
Then from 6PM on we’ll get the scene of the detective stumbling on the editor in his edit bay which will be my real life editing computer.
That’s the plan….
Here’s the test footage from the set that I built in the garage. I’m pretty happy with it and I’m amazed at how easy it is to set dress a film noir (because so much is in shadow).
