Lighting Tests and Test Footage

Prior to filming for my opening sequence I have decided to do some lighting and shot tests, using the same actor and the same locations I will be using in my actual shoot. This has helped me to see which of the shots on my shot list will work, to start thinking about blocking my actor and to test whether the lighting was appropriate.

I have included a couple of the tests as videos below alongside a link to a number of my other test shots.

Test Shots

I have now realised which shots work and which are not so good, so I will amend my current shot list ahead of filming my opening sequence. I may also use some of the more successful shots in my finished piece.
