The only equipment we used for this recording session was a Cannon 550D EOS camera and and on-board external microphone. We decided not to use any additional lighting as the scene already had enough lighting to work with (and could be manipulated at a later date if we desired too) and it may have made the scene seem a little too vibrant and unrealistic.
We also couldn't use a tripod due to a missing plate that would hold the camera in place. We could have called it a day and not recorded anything, but we wanted to stick to plan. So, we improvised and used other surfaces and methods of holding the camera. For example, for the mid-low angle shot, we balanced the camera on an incense burner and placed it on the small coffee table in the middle of the room.
Although this improvisation was an extremely risky method to use, the results
we came up with were great! There was only the smallest amount of shaking for hand held shots and all the angles and shots looked like they could have been created using a tripod anyway.
Here is a montage video that shows and labels the different angles and shots we took during the first part of production. I placed annotations on the YouTube video for notes on the shots we took.
Below are some photos that Matt and I had taken of our first scenes' set and shoot. These were taken to show the conditions in which we were working in, before and after the tripod malfunction, as well as key shots we felt should be recorded for notable notice.
