Further Notes

 

Lighting Notes

-         All interior "present" shots (post 07) will be lit by a combination of candlelight, and the internal light of a lava-lamp. The later must not be directed into the shot, but outside the frame, to maintain the mise-en-scene.

-     18, 20 and 22 to 26 must be filmed in decent outside light, so an ideal time for filming would be between 9 and 3 O’clock. All other shots can be filmed at any time, day or night.

-       Shots 22 to 26 are to be filmed under a high-energy light.

-       All other shots are to be filmed with only natural / house lights.
