Practice shots

Today we practiced our shots for the scene in the media suite, which involves me and matuesz having a conversation. We looked at lighting, camera angles and even adding humor into the scenes.

I think our titles should almost certainly be set in a cafe or start sitting round a table as it seen to be a convention set by Tarentino to start like this, I also the idea of the calm music from Reservoir Dogs, but prefer the actual titles being on a blank screen at the end of the sequence similar to Pulp Fiction. I think I will take ideas from both and merge them to create my desired effect for our titles.
