CONSTRUCTION: BEDROOM SCENE

In this scene, we had Adam come into the room, angrily. Through his anger, he smashes many objects in the room, including a picture frame with photos of him and Eve.  For this scene, my specific role was as boom and sound operator.  We laid out many different props in the room in order to make it look like a bedroom. We included books, jars and a picture frame of many different polaroid photos of Adam and Eve. Before this, we had the actors portraying the characters take pictures in order for the shoot to have a layer of authenticity to it.  

 The shot of Adam destroying many of the different objects was one shot that was particularly difficult to do.  We could only shoot this particular shot once due to the fact that many of the objects would ultimately be broken and it would take a lot of time to make the room look like how it once did. So for this shot, we had to make sure everything was perfect and looked right. Me and the cameraman had to be as close to the actor as possible both to make the shot look good as well as having to pick up the sound with the microphone. Ultimately, the shot was done effectively enough that few problems arose out of the creation of the shot.   

One of the most effective shots was a close up of Adam picking up a broken picture frame. For safety reasons, we decided not to use real glass but did find some fake glass online which we used instead. Once again, this shot was extremely effective as it created a layer of emotion and conflict for the character of Adam. The shot of him picking up the picture frame reminds of all the positive aspects of his relationship of Eve but his anger through knocking everything shows that there is a layer of conflict for the character.
