Set shoot

The on set shoot was an opportunity for us finally to have a control area, and a controlled set, with a lot of kit to play with,


  • a monitor which is especially useful when we are using magic lantern raw where we cannot preview clips back.
  • We can frame all our shots on the monitor, and get the composition down
  • we have a set of five lights to light our scene with.
  • We have a boom mic in a closed room to get diegetic sound
  • and we have cranes, glidecams, shoulder mounts, and tripods for us to make unique shots all in this one location to show our story to the best.

One of the shots I really wanted to have was a wide angle shot inside of the fridge, from closed to u-1 opening it and putting things in and closing again. The light spilling out of the fridge just takes u-1's face from darkness to illumination as he leans into the fridge.

Although we did not intentionally try to I feel a lot of the unique camera angles and shots in Breaking Bad are particularly relevent to how we tried to do our shots.
