Location and Camera Shots
So, I missed the location scout – bummer, I know. But my team did a pretty good job of filling me in. They sent me photos and explained their reasoning, which was really helpful. They found a patio table with a grassy area behind it, perfect for the fall I planned in the fight scene. Originally, the lighting wasn't ideal – it didn't hit either actor's face well. They smartly rotated the table so the key character, the eventual "winner," is well-lit, while the other actor is more shadowed. I actually really like this idea; it adds a nice visual layer to the power dynamic.
They also found a great tree near the table, ideal for the thief’s entrance. I can already picture framing that shot! They even described their plan for a tracking shot of the chase, using the tripod and phone stand for stability. They know I’m all about smooth camera movement. I appreciate that they’re already thinking about the technical aspects of the shot.
It sounds like they've got a solid foundation, but I’m going to need to see the location myself to get a real feel for the light and how it changes throughout the day. I'll want to bring my light meter and maybe some test footage to make sure everything works as I envision it. I’ll also want to discuss the tracking shot in more detail; I have a few different ideas about how we could execute it, depending on the available space and the lens we decide to use. Overall, it sounds like they found a promising spot, and I'm excited to see it for myself.
