I was not too fond of the idea but after looking at films like Dogville (below), I did like the minimalistic theatre style setting it was placed in. I thought it worked well and though my film will not use the same techniques that are laid out in the Dogme 95 filmmaking techniques, I can really experiment with the lighting.
I know I will find difficulty in approaching this route but I think that it is very possible to complete. The positives filming in a lecture theatre as my chosen location is that I can set up the scene in the way I want. There is a larger space to allow for different equipment such as the crane and since I will be experimenting with lighting, I am going to be using many lights so the bigger the space, the more safe it will be for everyone on set.
I did read the guidelines for making a Dogme 95 film, created by Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, however I felt that those rules would restrict me and given the time I had to prepare, it was not feasible to stick to those rules.
I shall be bringing these props onto the set, some are large in size so I shall be hiring a van to move it, but since I am filming 3 days in a row, once I have set up the scene there won't be any changes to it until everything is taken down.
- Cooked Food
- Purse
- Rubbish Bag
- Table + 3 chairs
- Cooking Pots +2
- Long Mirror
- Curtain
- Couch
The problems I am facing currently is working out how to fill out the space. I am deciding what props are actually important to the storyline, for example some scenes are set just outside the characters bedrooms but I do not have to use a bed to signify that it is their room.
I am still deciding how to light the scene so until then I won't know what colours curtains and chairs should be.
