The First Church Day
Our production efforts began with a single shot. The church scene is composed of three shots, one without the actors. We decided to search for this shot today. It began with us finding a church in the first weeks of planning, where we were instantly drawn to the art. Specifically, we wanted to utilize the crucifix that was in the worship area as it is such a realistic depiction of Jesus' suffering.
We were able to get permission to film today, but unfortunately the church was being used after mass as an area to practice a play, so we avoided disturbing the people inside and did not film the crucifix. We will be coming back later this week anyway to film with the actors. In the meantime, we were able to get some useable footage in case filming the crucifix does not work out for the film. Here are a couple of the best takes.
I also wanted to mention an app I found called Blackmagic Camera. Since we could not rent equipment for this project, we needed a way to control the iPhone camera that went beyond the basic controls in the camera app. Modern iPhones are actually very impressive cameras and can look great with the right settings and color correction. It is worthy to note that this footage is untouched, straight out of the app. Below is an image of the UI of the app.
