Especially because of the time of year that we shot this video-the middle of winter here in Western New York-every ground surface was covered in two feet of snow, which is extremely reflective. In the example shoot we had a big window, about five feet wide, and a doorway with another window. Is there natural light? How will you take advantage, or mitigate, as needed? I planned to position the first camera directly in front of her, across the counter, and the second camera to the side, with a good view of the cooking ingredients, pointing toward the window. I was going to have Cheryl stand behind the counter to do her baking demonstration, and I wanted to do it in a way that still let me see the stove in the background. You can leave it rough for small shoots, or turn it into something more polished if you need to coordinate a larger crew.Īfter you've sketched the space and it's contents (a large counter, in my case), add your players: actors, cameras, and enough room for your crew to move. If you regularly work in the same space, consider making up some printable outlines. If you're working by hand, a pad of graphing paper can help. Now, normally, I don't get hyper-detailed with my planning, but it is important to measure out your space so that you can draw (and imagine) things to scale. Shoot, and to make sure that your space, camera, lights, crew, actors and so on are all actuallyĪs a video maker, the only thing worse than showing up for your shoot day to realize it's not going to work as you planned is realizing what you're trying to do is just not going to work at all. The purpose of the sketch is to help you imagine your We start our stage plot with a simple sketch.
