Production Notes – Cine

Lift breaks down 6 times during the script. 

When it breaks down the shake will be done in post. I will turn the back two banks off on the kino and Rew will turn on the red 800W to simulate the lift shutting down and the emergency light coming on while still keeping them lit. Kino will be set to tungsten .

Every time someone enters the lift Rew will use the dimmer on the LED, turning it up and down to stimulate light outside the lift flooding in as the doors open/close. This will be set to daylight temperature. 

Shoot on a 35mm, low angle, just above the waist. 

Go to a lower shot at the point when they both sit down and Mrs Fellini takes off her heels (ORpan down on fluid when they go to sit down) 

Go to a lower shot at the point when Josh crouches on the floor in a panic, go slightly tighter to show his claustrophobia but allow room to see Mrs Fellini.

X2 takes, one with the standard low angle so we can see Mrs Fellini deliverer her lines before she too crouches.

Cut back to original low angle when he stands up again. 

Finally, there’s the reveal shot of the set. Turn on house lights.
