Test Stills for Opening

I took some test stills for some of the shots in the beginning of the 'morning scene'; some of the ones that mirror the misery opening, just to test them out/sorta show what I meant/to possibly use in a storyboard instead of drawings, which can be innaccurate and less useful. They took a bit too much effort and time to make, however, to be worth doing for the entire storyboard. Instead we will just write a detailed shotlist and use a stills camera to capture representations of the moving shots.

Shot of Cigarette Packet:


(I like this shot).


Shot of Glass of Water:



Shot of Alka-seltzer packet:




Shot of Alka-seltzer being put into the water:


(framing would be different here- wider angle and less tilty)


(In the real one this would be a soluble tablet instead of the powder here, and also in a packet instead of a sachet in the 3rd shot; this would make it easier to tell what it was).



Also in the actual sequence the shots would be in a different location where several different surfaces are available to shoot from (different places in the room), but I had to improvise and just dragged a bedside cabinet around the room =) .
