Production Part 2
With lectures all day Monday the only time we would have to shoot would be the evening. This was actually good timing as the third scene in the park was intended to be shot at the end of the day. After lectures finished we bused out to the location which was a park with a playground near Emile’s house. The lighting wasn’t quite right when we arrived so we shot a few clips that we had not had time to do the on the previous day. Once the day started to get darker we shot the transition clips from his house to the park as well as those needed for the dream. The idea was that ‘KARL’ could now teleport wherever he wanted in his dream and would move rapidly around the park. By cutting the clips we would easily be able to make it appear like he was moving from one place to another. To get this effect right we set up a static shot of two parts of the park. He would move around the jungle jim and then move onto the swings. This scene was relatively easy although we had a very limited time frame due to the fact that the sun was going down at such a fast rate. No issues arose on this day.
On the last day of production we shot the two scenes. We had ‘KARL’ entering school and being bullied by the students there and the final scene where he walks around Town in the robot suit. The idea behind the last scene was to show that he had become completely lost in his own reality. He no longer saw the real and the dream world as separate pieces but as one reality. Aside from random people wanting to take photos of a guy in his suit we had no problems shooting these scenes.
