Today we hired out the studio and equipment to practice various shots for 'The Babysitter'. We ran the entire final conversation between Rebecca and the killer Jack. I had the idea to do this shot on the slider, I thought this would add a nice feeling to the shot. A slow build to reflect Rebecca's slow realisation that she is not alone in the house.
We ran the scene a few times, a couple of times with me as Rebecca so Abby could practise with someone in the shot and I could direct while reading the lines.
We also ran the scene with John acting as Rebecca, so I could see the action from behind the camera and explain the framing to Abby.
We also practised with the shoulder rig, I had ideas about following a subject up the stairs with the shoulder rig. We tried this with Abby just simply following someone running up the stairs from he top of the stairs, we also tried seeing what the shoulder rig was like following someone up the stairs from behind them. This looked nice but I don't think I have a use for it in The Babysitter but maybe in 'Aren't You Glad You Didn't Turn on the Lights'. Overall the tests went well and I think me and the crew are prepared to shoot this weekend.
