Part of this script happends under the pier. Playing with the natural Lighting I had at 3PM I composed some shots I could incorporate in the Directors Vision.

Ginger is a single mom who just managed to escape, with her young son, from her abusive and criminal husband.

# data[].attributes.body
Ginder uses loose clothes with a slight Indian tradition to it. They are categorised as a Modern Indian Casual Fashion. The clothes have to showcase the intention she's away with family and want to spend a great time, so I suggest this sort of "vacation" wears.

# data[].attributes.body
Amrik is Ginder young son, he is described by her as wearing a green T-shirt and carrying a gorilla

# data[].attributes.body
Ranjit is Amrik estranged father who was following them the whole trip. In the story he is described as abusive and criminal so his costumes have to match that vibe

Ranjit is not dressed to impress, he wants to stay unseen, so his clothes can't be to vibrant.

For the script it is need a location under a Pier and out of all the possible location from Portsmouth, this Pier looked the best option to get the shots I need to complete the Scipt and Directors Vision.

Going there I found that it is a good location with easy acess both for cars and to bring equipment. It is a stone beach but there is plent of space off camera to hide/store equipment and crew. Due to the difficulty to insert lighting equipment there I looked for a more natural lighting aproach. Using the golden hour I used the harsh shadows and sillouettes to compose majority of my shots.

# data[].attributes.body
For the Shots I intent to film the perfect time to shoot is after 12:00 and before the sun goes down, since most of the compositions I want to film include a lot of harsh shadows on the ground or a intense use of sillouettes.

# data[].attributes.body
The pier has a small arcade on top wich would be perfect location wise because it can be shot the same day as the other scenes since it is same location.

# data[].attributes.body
I realised it was intersting playing with some of the natural props there are on set. Using the focus pull technique I can give some dynamism to the scene and add some more movement/emotion to the film.

# data[].attributes.body
When the sun is going down If we move far away from the pier and get a bigger lens, we obtain this sillouette effect that i thought looked really cool and mantained the dramatic effect of Ranjit meeting Amrik.

# data[].attributes.body
In this example we can show two different "places" sepparting the "prey from the predator"

# data[].attributes.body
The Director Vision says Ranjit is hiding on the shadows, so I looked for dramatic shots while searching for options to film Ranjit scenes.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Arcade I found the most intresting shots when you film through galsses or the actual game machines, it brings more intrest to the composition and I can place the subject behind it, Since Ginder is feeling lost because shes looking for her son, it makes sence that we feel uncorfortable. Also a good way to showcase how she is feeling lost is getting a wide shot and place her alone in the middle.
