Im not sure what camera to use as the image from the XF100 and the 70D can be quite different. I have decided to take both cameras to set and do tester shots when under the lighting to see which one is better.
During the first audition montage we will use the black backdrop and two point lighting, the goal is to make it look like an audition room so quite simplistic in style. The camera will be set up on a tripod on a tripod and be cut into a montage with the actor changing shirts after each section in order to convey the passage of time.
During the apartment scene we will use mainly natural lighting and possible reflectors to bouncing light in certain directions. This will allow us to get some really good shadows on the actor. The apartment scene will mainly be shot using a shoulder rig to allow for fluid movement while the actor walks around.
When filming in the hallway prior to the main audition it will mainly be filmed using the tracking dolly and tripod, using natural lighting. The lighting in the hallway is a lot better than expected so no extra lighting will be needed.
During the main audition scene it will mainly be filmed using a jib that is placed on top of the tracking dolly. This will allow for real freedom of motion when filming the scene. i decided to do this because I took inspiration from films like 'Birdman' that have lengthy takes but have a number of different shots within those lengthy takes. I will be attempting to do something similar which will allow Richard (Editor) to play with later. The lighting will be three point but will also have the overhead flood lights on for some extra lighting.
