What We Learned from the Practice Shots; Car Scene

We learned that we should record Hannah from the right to not break the 180 degree rule and the possibility to reduce the fact that the volunteer (my figment of imagination) will be in the shots we do not want. However, it is more likely that the window will be in shot which we would have to be careful as we are enforcing the idea that there is a door beside Hannah.

Another point is that to do all the shots I have to turn around every now and then, this created concern about continuity but we decided that due to both sides looking similar, the audience will not notice. Also, with me driving I cannot remember each individual line so I would get the camerawoman to relay it to be during filming, which we would cut out during editing. (We also agreed that the dialogue response on 'people' does not work so we changed it to 'human art' on our storyboard.)

Lastly, it taught us to be careful with the lighting (due to there not being a sunroof) less lighting gets in the car so we would need a brighter day (more difficult however, this time of year). Also, we do not want the lighting to defect out background (scenery) which we noticed a few times on the back window with the shots with Hannah in the car.
