After an A V induction yesterday, i have since hired out some different filming equipment and have been shooting my garden scene. I got out two large led lights and a orange spotlight. Instead of using the standard hd camera, i was shooting with a DSLR camera on film mode. Apparently if you are not too bothered about sound being recorded and you just want to focus on a clear strong visual picture, then this is best to use. I used it with predominantly the macro lens as i was working with close ups.
I found it interesting that i seemed to film most of the work at a predominantly twilight stage, strange when i am studying Crewdson's work. I was had the lens on manual focus so i was able to choose what was in focus and wasn't, this did take a while to get the hang of. I also chose moments where everything was out of focus, there was something special/ eerie about this. I had a blue screen set up behind it as i wanted to be able to put in my own background, i will play with different scenes for this, for example: night time, open field..Whilst i was filming, i filmed myself in front of the blue screen, as i want to see what it would be like to put myself into my work. I have never done this before, and so i'm excited with the thought of this and to just see if it would even work!
