Week ending 27th MARCH
- Still need 2 sets of photos
- Create story boards out of the photos you have
3RD APRIL
- Complete photos, begin to experiment with illustation over image, make photos move, animate over top. eg punishments of sins snakes etc.
- Shoot test shower envy scene
- Begin to shoot each film
- Print photos to mount
10TH APRIL
- Continue shooting (spend 2-3 weeks getting all shots), refer to photo story boards, obscure by Dir En Grey. Spend about half - a full day on each film shoot, so can get any other shots needed once done.
- Begin to edit, complete some tests
17TH APRIL
- More footage
- Editing
24TH APRIL

PLAN FOR FIRST FILMING!!
Greed... with Emma and Jamie...
Keep referring to "Obscure" video by Dir En Grey.
Shots:
Shaking head (to be sped up in post)
Playing with slime, close up shot of it falling over hands, putting it on doll.
Running on face?
Cut from serious, evil close up of face, to laughing, back to serious
Fishnets over face
Playing with jewellery
Monopoly money?
Writing on arms, greed, phrases associated.
Film space and then Emma in the space, so later, fade out emma as if she is dissapearing, into an illustration.
Sloth...Simon...
Lying flat on back, eyes closed, wide shot
Cut to eyes, which are sewn together
TO ADD LATER - animation/illustration of snakes, footage? NEED projection onto back wall.
Wrath... Sheetal...
Project fire burning in the background
Writing wrath onto arm
Putting a light to the doll, throwing it
Envy... Mel and klee?
Pouring water onto doll, then shaking, as if cold.(studio)
Bandana over face, so can only see eyes.
Close up of water coming from shower, slowed rightttt down. Film it falling through air, hitting klee/mels face, standing in corner of shower, freezing. Green food colouring on bottom of feet, green running down skin, as if envy is seeping out. Film it going down the plug so can be reversed and play with speed.
In shower soaked? Make up running down face, word envy
Gluttony...Ben
Lying on back surrounded by bottles.
Staggering up, grabbing another bottle.
film dropping the bottle, slow speed when hits floor.
Close up of lighting a fag, rolling a j, lines
Lust... Bethan
Side close shot of putting heels on whilst sitting down. fades out, camera slowley moving upwards following path of body.
Attatching suspenders to stockings
Smudging lipstick across face
Stroking arms, writing on self
(double check punishments for lust and wrath)
Vanity...Dru

LIGHTING
Lighting will be extremely important in this work. I want to highlight the features and expressions of the characters, to exaggerate emotion, yet use shadow to bring in a darker sentiment. The lighting workshop was very helpful as I have never really experimented with light before, so this gave me ideas which I tested with each of my models. I chose to use gels across the lamps, and flooded the studio with the colour of each specific sin. Using fast shutter speeds, low aperture, and a high ISO, I achieved what I wanted, and placed reflectors in the background which picked up the colour and outlined the form. When I start capturing the movement, I want to play more with depth of field, picking up a lot of detail but blurring the background.
Correlated Colour Temperature and Gel Nomenclature
Because I have never really experimented with controlling a light source and creating my own light, I have briefly researched into lighting to give me a better understanding of the subject. The image a camera sees or a screen shows will be very different to how it appears in real life. This is where light temperature, correction gels, white balance and filters come in. To simplify, the colour of a white light source depends on the correlated colour temperature, or CCT. The higher the CCT, the bluer the light will appear. A tungsten light of 3200K will appear less blue than sunlight at 5600K.
Two commonly used colour correction gels are CTB (colour temperature blue) and CTO (colour temperature orange). Using a CTB gel will change the light given from a 3200K tungsten light to a 'daylight' colour. A CTO gel will do the opposite. Obviously there is no specific daylight colour as daylight will vary depending on many different factors - time of day, pollution, location etc, so gels differ from manufacturer to manufacturer. Fluorescent lights generally appear very green, and gels can be used to to remove the greenness. These gels are called minus green. Plus green gels will obviously modify light into a green colour, which I plan to use when I begin to shoot 'envy'. Gels come in various strengths and are indicated by fractions eg. 3/4, 1/2 and so on.
