Kettle Shots

Kettle Scene

Over the last two days we have taken shots of a kettle against a black background, the smoke rising and contrasting with the background. As the kettle is boiled it gets poured into a glass jar where the tea bag is mixed, a different shot angle is used for this, not the same as the beginning shot with a different framing. Next the glass is held up to the person drinking it, they blow on it, pause and then take a sip.

All of SWEFF (Sound, White Balance, Exposure, Focus and Framing) has been considered and used within the shots. For example the two cameras we had we're set to tungsten lighting, the aperature was 10 whereas the shutter speed was 50, this gave the white lighting to the setting. We done the Call and Respond everytime before beginning of the shot to keep all the roles on set in order, for example we say lights, ready, sound, speed and cameras, rolling. After the respond and call the clipboard is used to tell us the scene and what take it is.
