So once the costume was finished, it was time to record. We pretty much had one shot for this as the weather was not looking great.
I managed to use the sheet that I burnt a hole in as a undercoat to hide more of legs for the model I was using. I used my Nikon camera to record this. Note -- I have never used it to record a video before, I only learnt on the morning of the recording session.
I had a script of how it was going to be filmed.
2min film script -Camera pans in from the left to see sheet ghost emerging from behind a tree.
-Soundscape slowly fades in.
-long shot of ghost walking through field where I walk the dog
-Closer view of sheet ghost stood looking around -sound slowly transitions into children laughing, birds singing, wind blowing etc?
-Ghost focuses on part of landscape
-Ghost touches something of significant
-Ghost continues to wander through field -sounds start to fade away and soundscape returns
-Ghost stops -Ghost focuses sees something to the right
- ghost looks at camera breaking 4th wall
-loud sound bursts in
-Sheet ghost drops
-music fades out while keeping view on pile of sheets
So I recorded around 5 minutes of material to pick from edit and sort through. There was lots of thing which I never noticed while recording, like seeing the models feel, small movements of the camera. unfocusing etc
After reviewing all the material I went with the last recording I took.
The sounds I made using Garageband
