Final preparations

It's the start of the spring break week but that does not mean much. My group is about to get the ball rolling with our film opening on Tuesday and start production. Being honest, it makes it easier on us that the time limit to the film opening is only 2 minutes, meaning if it were longer we would likely have to shoot on more than one day.

Today I went to Party City to pick up the lab coat, and gathered the final supplies. Tomorrow, I will be putting together the set in my garage so we can set full steam ahead Tuesday morning.

While I was looking over one of my previous posts where I  referenced lighting, I wondered how I was going to achieve a particular set up since I don't have expensive lighting equipment. After thinking for a while, I drew a rough draft on a sticky note of what I thought would be the best set up as shown on the right. My visualization was to set up a desk lamp on a top of a ladder which would extend over the subject. This lamp would then shine down on the subject and would allow you to adjust your camera to the appropriate settings.
