Filming

Eliza and I went to Miho's house and filmed last Saturday, which was the 16th of May. At first we were struggling of how we should set up the camera and the lights in order to make the film look more film noir. We used the soft light when we were filming the part where the bar visitor (Miho) is reading the newspaper. When we were filming the bar tender part, we used stronger lights to make it more shadowy and to create intensity.

We set up lights near the table and one under the table. To make the place more like a bar, Eliza brought two black table clothes to put on top the table. There were some empty glass bottles put on the side of the table as well to show that it's a bar.

When we started filming the scene where the bar visitor is having a conversation with the bar tender asking about the murder, we put the camera on the side of the bottle next to the glass bottles. We filmed the same scene a few times at different angles to show facial expression of the two people while they're talking.

After we finished filming the conversation scene, we were going to film the scene where the mistress says goodbye to the person who gets killed. However, because it was a bit late and it was raining, we didn't get to finish filming that part.
