CONSTRUCTION: DINNER SCENE

  In this scene, Adam is preparing a surprise dinner for Eve. When he leaves the room, Ular walks in and tries to sedude Eve, including feeding a strawberry to her. We then see Adam in the doorway, angry about what he sees.
We performed a closeup of the lighting of the candles as well. I lit the scene, primarily with just the candlelight. Much like how Stanley Kubrick did with Barry Lyndon , this was to give the scene a sense of realisim. It also helps to establish a mixture of both romantic and dark themes. The scene should be one that has a romantic quality as Adam wants to express his love in some way but it is ultimately overshadowed by Ular's seductive powers. For this scene, I acted as Ular but I also did some direction, specifically providing suggestions on how the scene should ultimately be lit in order for to evoke many of the romantic qualties that I felt suited the scene.
 


 


We had to film the movie seductively in order to get a sense of the romantic tension between Ular and Eve. We let the camera follow around Ular's hand onto the shoulder of Eve. This was one such shot that was able to give this scene this scene of tension.  We performed a closeup on Eve's mouth when she was eating the strawberry. This was to give the scene a sense of seduction. We used the idea of Laura Mulvaey's "male gaze of the camera" in order to make this scene seductive. Otherwise, the scene would've looked awkward and it wouldn't have worked

We then had an over the shoulder shot of Adam looking through the doorway at Eve and Ular. This ultimately was so that we could get an idea of his jealousy. He's angry but is unable to do anything as he knows that this would break up his relationship with Eve.
