First Shoot

Today Morrighan and I are filming our first shoot, which includes the two scenes on Pecc Street. The cast and crew for this shoot are;
Me: Camera operator and director.
Morrighan: Actress playing the femme fatale.
Andrew: Actor playing the anti-hero. Will assist with camera operating when not in shot.
James: Actor playing the villain. Will also assist with camera operating when not in shot.

As Morrighan is acting in almost all shots for this scene, she will not be able to assist with camera operating or directing. However as she is executive cinematographer, I will flip the screen of the video camera of some shots to check their cinematic quality.

Morrighan and our other actors are arriving in the morning-early afternoon, so that we can finish styling the actors in time for shooting in daytime. The materials that I have prepared for this are;

• Femme fatale make-up
• Fake blood for the femme fatale bullet wound
• Femme fatale handbag and jewellery

We aim to shoot the final footage of the scenes of the femme fatale's death and the anti-hero photographing the body. I will also be taking still images of the femme fatale to edit into the anti-hero photographing the body scene. Morrighan and I are quite confident that this shoot will be successful due to our planning of our shots, mise en scene, and location, and also the rehearsal shoot that we created at the same location on Pecc Street, which made us familiar with where we are shooting and how we will shoot it.
