Hi Glenn, I just sat down and sorted throught what we should be doing in regard to mothers point of view / the mothers presence. The story we are telling is that the mother, Cheryl, is dead and Julian has lost the opportunity to ever connect with her. This is final and completely devastating. So it's important for our story that we make it clear there is no "after life" that is no ghostly presence of cheryl hanging ready to forgive him or watching over him. Therefore the idea of Cheryls point of view or even flares of light suggesting Cheryls is around with them has got to be out. This is A CHANGE from what we have discussed before. Your suggestion has made me analysis what we are doing in more detail - thank you. the story will be clearer and more impactful for it. Where we can use light is at the end of the story where we want to show that he has a had a signficant and transformational change. It's like he has been in a dark room unable to see what is right in front of him, until through seeing Gemma's love for her child, the lights is switched on and he can finally see what has been invisable to him before. I don't think this should literally a light being switched on him in close up. I see something more like a final wide shot where the afternoon sun has come through the window and illuminates them. obviously this image is to be discussed and developed further. Katie
Great, I understand where your comming from, having that contrast makes the transformation greater visually, The BB shots look around the same as our 25mm, some are a little longer 30mm but not much. Where shooting 1:1.78 locked in cant be changed, not much different from 1:1.85 cheers G.
Just to clarify 1:1.85 The comments made by the DP on BB are in reference to shooting 1:2.35 (scope) as opposed to the "squarer" aspect 1:1.85 which will show more of thier hands (being wider vertically). Our aspect is even wider vertically (more square) than 1:1.85 ratio so we will be able to see more information vertically.
