Today we had a test and lighting shoot in the studio for our upcoming shoot on Thursday. We are shooting in our studio all Thursday morning so we thought it would be best to get in the studio and practice with a difficult shot. As I have previously discussed in a blog entry I am aiming to incorporate use of a trombone shot (or the vertigo shot) into the film. This shot will serve as part of the story and it will be used to enhance the internalised madness of the main character the audience are aligned with. This shot is one which the audience are made to really feel, as it aims to disorientate them and also to pull them in. In todays test shoot we used the tracking dolly and the camera only, using the zoom of the camera fully. We then zoomed out as the track moved forward we created the trombone effect.
The shot below is an image taken on the set of the test shoots. In the camera monitor we can see how close the zoom is focused on our glamorous subject, Yiannis. The track then moved forward and the zoom moved out so that the subject was no longer shot at a closeup but at a mid shot.
This is another image despite the poor lighting this shows the setup we had for the test shoot.
Below is a link to Youtube where we have uploaded the best from the set of test shots we done, we will use this for future reference and also reference on the day of the shoot in terms of how to frame the subject and how fast the track and zoom should go.
