-Wide establishing shot - Pinkie and Rose walking together - 24mm prime lens - dolly for tracking - follow from behind

-Mid shot - Pinkie and Rose stop and face each other in opposite thirds - 35mm prime lens - track mounted dialogue exchange - begins to track backwards as they carry on walking as indicated by the scene description

-Over the shoulder shot over Rose's shoulder with 35mm prime lens "Here, this'll do... seeing me and everything" 

-Reverse shot over Pinkie's shoulder with 35mm prime lens "No, no Pinkie it's alright. I want to be there waiting for you."

-Extreme close up on Pinkie's hands as he pulls out gun - 85mm lens

-Over the shoulder shot on Pinkie's shoulder - 35mm - dialogue exchange "There that's it. Good girl... Yes for all the world."

-Reverse shoulder shot on Rose - 35mm - same dialogue

-Mid shot two shot - 35mm as characters stand in opposite thirds again for "and you want us to be together forever don't you?"

-Close up - 55mm - Pinkie's face for the line "Well there we are then... then we'll be together. Forever."

-Extreme close up - macro lens - Pinkie helps Rose put the gun in her mouth - light reflected on gun

-Wide angle developing shot of the two as Pinkie leaves - 24/35mm - he exits the shot by walking backwards out of focus and Rose steps forwards a couple of steps to take over as subject of the shot as she remains in focus at the end.]]> 2022-01-16 17:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1994507124 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1994532279 Scene 43:
-Extreme close up - 85mm Samyang Prime lens on drink - handheld. Extremely shallow depth of field. Shot develops as Ida puts it on the table and focus shifts dramatically to phone in her other hand behind it - pan up to Ida's face as she reacts with "Oh my god. He's gonna do something"

-Unstable shoulder rig shot - 55mm (potentially 35mm if too close) - in one continuous shot camera moves back and forwards onto Ida and Dallow as they exchange dialogue "What you saying?... I know he'll be. Come on."

-Another slightly unstable shoulder rig shot - 24mm this time - Ida and Darrow rush out - shot hangs on empty room for few moments.]]> 2022-01-16 17:49:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1994532279 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1998514189 2022-01-18 17:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1998514189 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1998573724 South Parade Pier, South Parade, Portsmouth

This location is a first potential shooting location for scene 47. Ideally this scene would take place on a pebbled beach environment in the early hours of the evening at approx. 6pm in June. I believe the beach be fitting for the romantic tone of the scene whilst the setting sun detailed in the script is complementary of the underlying theme of death as Pinkie and Rose prepare to shoot themselves to be together.

The location is local to Portsmouth and easily accessible for cast and crew, however it's main drawbacks are it's absence of power sockets for camera and lighting equipment, which would need an appropriate supply of battery packs. This is the a highly popular and well known beach in the Portsmouth too and so shooting here in the evening in June would likely be busy with public visitors. This would be costly to close off with permission from the county council. The pier does make for a welcome addition however but the other beach locations might be quieter. ]]> 2022-01-18 17:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1998573724 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999165417 South Parade Pier, South Parade, Portsmouth

A second shot of the Southsea Pier location, this time facing West. This is the angle that the sun would be setting, however in this location recce the time of day was morning. This angle would feature in the reverse shots for the dialogue exchanges between Pinkie and Rose, and features less prominent scenery as it lacks the pier as seen in shot 1.]]> 2022-01-18 23:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999165417 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999170487 South Parade Pier, South Parade, Portsmouth

The third shot taken as part of the location recce to Southsea Pier. This shot was taken around midday and hence the sun is in a more central position. When shooting this scene in the summer evening hour the sun would appear more towards the West (right of this frame). This shot demonstrates the angle I would use for the tracking shot from behind Pinkie and Rose as they walk down the beach towards the ocean.]]> 2022-01-18 23:35:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999170487 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999177292 South Parade Pier, South Parade, Portsmouth

Proposed location 2 features a similar beach on the other side of the pier. Although similar geographically, the sunset would appear on the same side as the pier in this location due to the difference in camera positioning. This could give the pier a warmer glow as opposed to the other location on the other side. I feel that this may highlight the significance of a more commercial and public location with the pier lit overhead by evening light. 

Despite seeming like an ideal place to shoot scene 47, the popular tourist nature of the setting, especially during the summer months, may mean that it is too crowded and too expensive to clear from the public. This could result in the final choice of location going to a more closed off and private location (see location 3), which may be more beneficial for the romantic nature of the narrative detailed in the script.

Attached is the reverse shot of the above location 2, shot 1. This angle features a much visually quieter backdrop with minimal buildings and obstructions, with the small beach huts lining the shore being useful in my opinion to reflect the coastal nature of this scene. Logistically a shingled beach would be more suitable for the sake of camera and lighting kit than a sandy beach would, a benefit of this setting, however as mentioned before, the absence of power sockets in these exterior locations would mean that additional power packs would need to be provided for the equipment on the shoot.

This is the third alternative location for scene 47. This beach is also shingled however its main difference from the previous two examples is its much reduced size and popularity that will make it much more viable for filming during summer months. ]]> 2022-01-18 23:58:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999190570 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999199457 Ferry Road, Portsmouth

The reverse angle from the previous shot, showing the other direction down the beach. This will be visible during the dialogue exchange sequences between Pinkie and Rose on the beach. Again the more reserved nature of location 3 makes it not only more viable to film without disturbance but also more isolated for the narrative to occur in. A similar drawback is again the lack of power sockets for the camera and lighting equipment.]]> 2022-01-19 00:08:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999199457 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999199773 Model sitting on the beach for location 3. This shot was taken in the afternoon, and on time of filming, the sun would be setting from behind the characters. This could be beneficial for filming as during the proposed backwards track shot from in front, the characters would be silhouetted by the sun and this may provide the dreamy feel I am looking for.]]> 2022-01-19 00:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999199773 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999228740 2022-01-19 00:35:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999228740 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999246052 2022-01-19 00:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999246052 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999255414 A colour palette put together to assist the set designs and creation of LUTs.]]> 2022-01-19 00:57:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999255414 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999257902 A colour palette put together to assist the set designs and creation of LUTs.]]> 2022-01-19 01:00:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999257902 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999272955 I have chosen the Sony FS7 for this particular shoot. This is mostly due to its 4k capabilities which I intend to take advantage of. The camera is familiar within the film and television industry and this would make it a popular choice for the Pinkie script. While some may argue in support of the Canon C300 due to its more portable design, I believe the FS7's 4k option that is not available on the C300 makes it more suitable and it can easily be mounted to a dolly and track for certain proposed shots within scene 47.]]> 2022-01-19 01:12:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999272955 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999286387 For this shoot I intend to utilise the Samyang prime lens kit, with my shot list outlining the need for a 24mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm lens to achieve the full range of shot lengths required.

I feel that the prime lens set is advantageous over zoom lenses as their static length means the types of shot will be more consistent and easier to set and stick to. Many of the dialogue scenes during scene 47 require reverse shots to be taken at the same length and using a set lens for both will ensure these look as identical as possible so to appear less distracting for the viewer in the final product.

Having more practice with the Samyang Prime lens kit, I feel that this is the lens kit that I would be most comfortable working on the job with.]]> 2022-01-19 01:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999286387 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999289411 This would be useful to have on set to ensure lenses are adaptable for the camera we will be utilising.]]> 2022-01-19 01:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999289411 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/1999296379 -The scene description for scene 43 is unclear as to the time of day, interior/exterior reference and location.

The story follows the sociopathic antihero, Pinkie, a 17 year old mob leader from Brighton, England, as he manipulates a naïve young woman named Rose and is investigated by detectives, Ida and Harrow, employed by an old enemy of Pinkie who once betrayed him.

Due to the original source material's intended setting of the Brighton area and its Palace Pier, I have sourced my locations based around the similar Portsmouth area to ensure they are easily accessible without straying away from the source material. It has also influenced my costume designs (attached) which consist of formal designs that would not appear out of place in a British detective thriller.]]> 2022-01-19 10:00:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000017911 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000020659 2022-01-19 10:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000020659 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000023345 2022-01-19 10:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000023345 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000025693 2022-01-19 10:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000025693 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000035382 Would be used to achieve camera stability with the static shots featured for the dialogue exchanges in Scene 47 as well as any other shots where handheld is not needed.]]> 2022-01-19 10:10:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000035382 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000035840 Would be utilised for the continuous panning back and forwards shot proposed for scene 43 as well as slightly more unstable 85mm close ups on the gun prop in scene 47.]]> 2022-01-19 10:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000035840 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000037004 This is an essential expenditure when it comes to ensuring the tracking shots with Pinkie and Rose in scene 47 appear as smooth and gentle as they can be. This could be cut due to budgetary reasons however I would advise against as it would potentially make the beach scenes much more dreamy, and this is something I intend to build up before subverting with the jarring lens change at the point where the gun is first revealed.]]> 2022-01-19 10:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000037004 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000037403 I have chosen to utilise a set of three Kinoflow lighting fixtures. These particular lights are well known for their highly adaptable nature and flexibility with tint and temperature, making them ideal for almost any shoot. They are also the light that I am most familiar with as a cinematographer, and I feel this would be a real benefit working efficiently on set. Whilst they could have some use working on scene 47, I intend to rely more on the light from the setting sun in the summer however these could still be incorporated if lighting appears too dark. They are mostly loaned for scene 43, where they will be used to give the bar a similar warm summer tone that matches the exterior window light that may be available.]]> 2022-01-19 10:11:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000037403 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000082906 The Hub Box, Portsmouth
PO13TR

This is the first potential location for shooting scene 43. It's warm interior and homely wooden décor would make it ideal with matching the colour palettes and mood boards outlined in the padlet. Despite being a burger restaurant, it easily doubles as a smaller scale cocktail bar/pub that I intend the scene to be based around. It's location in Gunwharf Quays makes it readily accessible, however it is an expensive option to book out, and the surrounding area will likely be busy and loud in the summer. Like all three proposed scene 43 locations, the interior setting will mean that power sockets will be available to use and additional batteries for kit will not be required. ]]> 2022-01-19 10:38:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000082906 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000084187 The Dockyard Pub, Portsmouth
PO12RY

The second possible location I sourced for scene 43 is the Dockyard bar. Again it's popularity would make it a slightly more expensive option to source, however it's larger space may ensure extras could be used to increase the atmosphere inside the bar during the scene where Ida and Darrow exchange dialogue and leave.

This is probably my least preferred option as the others have an aesthetic more in line with my mood boards and composed colour palettes, but still a strong contingency nonetheless.]]> 2022-01-19 10:39:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000084187 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000086593 The Lady Hamilton, Portsmouth
PO13DT

This is in my opinion, the most preferable location of the three. In terms of interior design and aesthetic, it looks most like a standard English pub. It's more vintage style is more in line with the classic noir detective roots of the source material too. It's smaller size and popularity when compared to the other two means that it will likely be cheaper to come to a booking agreement whilst retaining the appropriate atmosphere.

Again its interior will feature power points which will be highly useful for the camera and lighting equipment required when shooting for scene 43. This is where I can most vividly envision the scene to occur.]]> 2022-01-19 10:40:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000086593 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000130078 This will mostly affect scene 47 due to its exterior location on the beach and the specific demand for a sunset shoot which I intend to be in May summer evening for the appropriate weather conditions.]]> 2022-01-19 11:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000130078 jamienash10 https://padlet.com/jamienash10/1icudym90bilhven/wish/2000135652 The attached link details the sunrise and sunset times throughout the year, and I have selected the timings for May 2022.
