Reflecting back on the exercise of observational interview, this way of documenting was like stalking an object. What I learned from this exercise was to not interact with the object but filming ‘like eyes watching and observing’.

There were couple of technical issues here than are now discussed and learned of, and these were focus, exposure and lighting. Robin introduced the use of a Kino light and this light can be dimmed and also light cylinder regulated. I think it will be a good thing to use a Kino light because it recreates the soft light coming from outside, and even though the light is dimmed, it can be edited on final cut pro. In most cases, this is not necessary as the camera wont change the focus on the color balance while shooting. Another thing we discussed in this tute was the relationship with the characters. The portrait should be a happy content that is negotiated and its relationship to the film. It is how we plan to negotiate with Yanni that will create a great result, and for this we can show him the film and ask him if he wants to have a look at it before we hand it in. Just because this will give the character peace in mind and also benefit us as filmmakers.
