Before the production day I set out some shots that I was hopeful to capture, however as I knew the salon is a busy place, from visiting prior, I knew that customers would come in and out all the time. I also knew I had to be flexible and be on my feet with shots.
Shot List
- (Important shot) symmetrical moving shot. Hair dressers either side as camera pushes in through middle (25mm lens)
- Close up of hair cutting as hair flicks out of frame
- Close up of decorations on walls (e.g. Burlingtons sign)
- Medium shots of clients having their hair washed
- Close up of colouring client’s hair
- Medium shots of objects of interest around the building
- Movement shot of huge windows, pulling out to reveal customers
- Medium shot of products available
Using the Sony A7III, I want to capture 90% of the footage in slow motion as I discussed in my client brief. Most of the shots hopefully will be possible, however I am confident that there will be enough going on, on the busier day to get alternative or surplus amounts of shots.
Day 1 (Midweek):
The first day of filming will be a quiet day in the salon. This is reserved for shots which require staging or need extra space. The following shots are planned to be filmed on this day:
- Close up of decorations on walls (e.g. Burlingtons sign)
- Medium shots of objects of interest around the building
- Movement shot of huge windows, pulling out to reveal customers
- Symmetrical moving shot. Hair dressers either side as camera pushes in through middle
- Medium shot of products available
Day 2 (Friday):
The second day of filming will be a much busier day in the salon, more going on, more clients. Perfect for capturing the atmosphere of the salon. On this day I want to be able to capture shots with clients such as close ups of the services. The following shots are planned to be filmed on this day:
- Medium shots of clients having their hair washed
- Close up of colouring client’s hair
- Close up of hair cutting as hair flicks out of frame
This day in particular is a good opportunity to get surplus amounts of footage incase other shots that were planned aren’t plausible or don’t work out.
