Shot Analysis - Drums

This shot is a kind of introduction to the performance. It shows Joe's bedroom in its transformed state as performance space and prepares the viewer for the switch.

Lighting: Much darker than any previous scenes. Used the light in the room but also a bright lamp behind the flag and one behind the camera to illuminate the scene - despite wanting it to look dark and grimy, I needed it to be bright enough so that the viewer can see everything in shot.

Props: A lot of effort went into setting up this room. I first had to strip it bare of defining features like clothes, hangers, bedding, cups etc and I then recreated it. In this scene we see the room setting itself up piece by piece, however in this shot we only see the drum kit and flag. This is enough to insinuate that we are going to see a performance. The drum kit is laid out correctly for realism. The flag shows our viewer the kind of band The Likely Lads are and where they are from. Also shows The Libertines influence.
