Production Role Evaluation

As cinematographer, I will have to plan what will be on screen and in frame and decide what shooting formats and camera lenses to use. In doing this I will have to use my own creativity as well as working with the Director and fulfilling their ideas.

Camera: Nikon D5300
We will be using a mixture of a 18-55mm and a Prime Lens, the 18-55mm lens has a short zoom range but most of the shots in this film won't be from long distance. Added to this it has a fairly large depth of field length which enables for more focus pulling within the drama to divert the audiences gaze. The Prime lens has no zoom function but it is better for crisper images, which means we can get different perspectives moreover it can get wider shots which will be good for such elements as establishing shots.

Lighting:
We will mostly be using natural lighting but
for the interior scenes we will use portable LED Lights
that can be attached to the camera which can recreate
natural light for a more noir lit sequence. We will also shoot one scene at night for that the location has street lighting but we will also be using the LED Lights for a lighting boost
if the shot is to dark.
