Personal Infrastructures Idea Generation

On sitting down and talking with will we decided we wanted to investigate the social niceties of Leeds whilst entertaining our audience. Our original idea therefore is a feel good short documentary style film. We decided the 1st thing to do would be to visit the places we wanted to talk about, to get an idea of shots, people to interview etc

Panic - Banana Post Production Development

Panic - Banana Raw Final Sequences

As I could not arrange the scene and keep the cast shadow in the same place whilst shooting, I shot the Banana sequence first and then used paparazzi mode to take the second sequence of the peeling shadow motion. I hope to splice the 2 compositions together in after effects.

Panic - Banana Test Shots

Composition Tests: The composition had to show the banana's face and leave space on the wall to fit in the cast shadow of the other banana being peeled.


Lighting Tests: The lighting was hard to set up, I had to arrange the lights so that the cast shadow would hit the right spot on the wall, whilst not blocking the light with my body. Also being in such close quarters I had difficulty finding a spot whilst taking the pictures that didn't interrupt the lighting. I had to resort to sitting on the floor.


Banana Angle: The banana had to be facing the right direction so that you could see the face but also at an angle were it was looking at the source of the cast shadow.


Face Tests: These were taken to asses the size of the eyes and mouths for the bananas.
