Post from Dasha's blog:
Most of our scenes are going to be based on being behind the
van, therefore, my group and I had to collect some information on how to film
in the back of the van and how it could potentially look. Below is an image of
how the van will look without all of the set design and actors in there.
Snatch (2000)
We researched into different movies that use similar techniques
to us, a good example of this could be the opening sequence in Snatch. They
all come in dressed up as Jews and then take off their costumes, leaving them
looking as completely normal people. There is a bit of a contrast in the way
that the robbers are acting compared to how we want ours to look. The whole
purpose behind ours is for them to be stereotypical and unexperienced, whereas,
the calmness of the robbers in snatch clearly shows that they are
professionals.
In their opening they use the 180 degree rule, as we don't end
up seeing what's happening in the front of the van. In our storyboards, we had
planned to film in a way that we kind of see the front of the van, but then
don't end up seeing the back of the van until the end when we get a glimpse of
the mysterious 'boss man/villain'.
The van that we are going to use doesn't have windows,
therefore, we have to install LED lighting before we start shooting so that we
don't just end up shooting a scene with only excess light.
Below is an image of van doors that are open, this is how we
want to film the robbers reaction to the villain. We are going to take lots of
different shots like long shots, close ups and mid shots, they will provide a
large set of varieties to choose from in the edit suite.
