Problem with my filming

I began editing the last bit of filming that I had done and unfortunately some of the shots have filmed blurred. As I used the big HD camera, I had to put the camera right in the corner of the room as to get the best shot therefore didn't realise the fact that it was blurry. Normally I would have refilmed this week, however my actress has become ill and  I will have to wait until next week to re-film. Therefore I will have to wait until next week before re-filming. I plan on editing the footage I got this week and editing the next part when my actress is better.

Road to Perdition - inspiration

The inspiration for meetings between the hitman and his boss came from this film. I like the use of dark lighting between the two characters and the fact that when there is a light in the room, when the camera is facing Doug Spinuzza, playing Calvino; the light is out of shot, therefore making his presence seem darker and more dangerous.

 However when the camera is facing Tom Hanks, the light is in shot along with the light bulb as to portray the idea that he is the more innocent character. I plan to use this effect during the swap between my two characters as they will be filmed under a light, and if possibly I shall try and capture it so that Damien (George) will be more in the light due to his guilt and his boss shall be darker along with Bethany in behind him due to her loss of innocence and life.
