Shooting ‘Sneaker Spastic’ Part 2 – w10

Shooting main scenes 1,2 and 3 and managing a group project as this one, was easier in the appartment than in the dead end lane. Lighting the actors was fun and trying to get the same light as outside improved the quality of the movie. Production design here was sun and transforming Goi’s apartment into a lane worked and we were ready to let camera roll. The main scenes were shot here and we had full control over the equipment without any interruptions. Crew development here got stronger as all of us committed to the pre-production fully and we’ve shared ideas and suggestions all the way. Therefore, during the shooting no discussion was allowed until after the last shoot as it could breach our timeframe. Neither did we face any issues with crew temperament and this might be because if something is wrong, meaning we’re just human beings and we all do have issues at some point in life, we’ve talked about this and consulted each other. Not because the feeling of that we had too, but because of professionalism and respecting each other beyond technical and film production skills. And having said that, after doing so, the division of responsibility was easier as well. I think in terms of collaboration, this one of the strongest key points we have within the group’s communication.


The actors were easy going in the main shooting, however the antagonist did have opinions that was dealt with but I think this made the shooting even more challenging and interesting as one imaginary expression of body language was replaced with another and more natural one. When doing so, the awareness of focus, focal length and lightning was in mind. Daylight interior and daylight exterior differed from the lane and into Goi’s apartment, and we experimented with the key light, red lights, main light and small lights to figure out which one was the best to use. We wanted the street light effect but without shadows on the actors faces. Luckily we had two extras on set to help us, and fitting the lighting gear into the apartment reminded us on how to use a certain amount of space into the film production.
