For the first time in months, I left Pulau NTU for home. It was a difficult journey. It was long. It was arduous. But I was home. And I got to work setting up the room for shooting.
Decluttering.
I had stuck cellophane to the ceiling light so that it would bathe everything in blue. Because blue is the warmest colour. What? No. Blue is cold and blue is sad and blue is lonely.
Also I think that I used blue because in the Ganzfeld Experiment colour is used to alter mindstates so I blue here is meant to suggest and induction of loneliness in the character.
The original shots were a little bit low, so I tried playing with a higher angle of the camera for this master shot.
Checking for headspace – this might be a too tight.
Another angle to alleviate headspace problem? I decided against this because of a few reasons.
- The changes in movement of the character causes variation in size which could indicate hierarchy, which is not ideal
- The frontal master shot before was much better in portraying the idea of an objective physical space due to it’s straight on, ‘scientific’ observation.
In the end, I went back to the frontal master shot with a slightly lower angle. Headspace works well.
