We recently had an equipment rehearsal for all the crew to come fully to grips with all the equipment they will be using on the shoot. This way everyone will be comfortable with using their equipment and know what they will be doing on set. Drew wanted to run through some scenes that he thought might be complicated so we all rehearsed them so we had a better understanding for the shoot. We ran through a few of the scenes and had Abby film them so we could see what it looked like and what we could improve upon. Specifically we worked on one of the last shots, where our character is sat on the floor talking to the killer in fear and realises that he's close by. Drew wanted to use a dolly zoom moving in slowly on the character to build tension up until the moment she runs off to check on the kids.
This shot is most famous for its use in films such as Jaws (1975) and Vertigo (1958) and used in similar scenes such as our own for the same reasons. We rehearsed this a few times so there would be no complications on set and we would be able to get the shot nice and smoothly without any kinks. The footage was given to Chloe to edit who put together a little short of our equipment rehearsal. We repeated the shot a few times because it was quite hard to get the hang of. Once Abby came to grips with it, we focused on how we would light the shot and had Jacob record sound, with myself and John acting while Drew directed us. I was able to offer help to people who needed it and acted as script supervisor when needs be.
The equipment rehearsal was a good idea, because not only did it help the crew come to grips with the equipment but it was the first time our crew had worked together filming something as a team. It was good to see how we all acted and got on together as well as in our respected roles.
