Pratical Screencraft 2: Test Stills

So before filming my film, I took some practice images to get an idea of what I wanted to create. This was to be used as a reference guide that is more specific than my storyboard, but it was also so I could practice with the lighting as I was concerned how it would turn out.

 This was the earliest test on the silhouette image for the film. I hadn't introduced the actor yet as I was simply testing if the light was able to bleed through the curtain effectively enough.

 These were some practice shots to measure the distance needed to get the side shot of the silhouette. I ended up get much closer on the day and completely cutting out the table.

 Outside shots I was practicing as well, while none were exact and they were shot during the day, they're pretty close to what was used in the film.

A shot I did on the fly as I remembered I needed to ass to find a sink for a cut away. This was used for the final film.

 Practice silhouette shot. The room was still too bright but at least the outside light was spot on.

 Trying to incorporate the cut away screen shot and the silhouette shot. Looking back, this might have worked if I brought the screen up more and had it take more of the image, but I decided to cut it out entirely. I don't regret this choice as it distracts.

Finally, more practice images. I decided the actual camera angle wasn't right so I changed it on the day of the shoot.
