For this film, I have several ideas for shots I’d like to work with. After discussing characters genre and location, I envisage the piece to be shot like a sitcom, almost as a pilot episode to a TV program. I’m drawing influence from such programs as “Peep Show” “The Office” “Nathan Barley” “How Not To Live Your Life” for this.
I’d very much like to experiment using dolly’s and tracks, which could be great to travel around the office, going from character situation/conversation to another from one office cubicle to the next. I’m also really excited about using the camera’s as almost a surveillance device, spying on what’s happening in the office. If we could mount the camera on a dolly, we could move through the action, scene to scene.
I think getting POV shots will be quite interesting, as will some shots I’d like to get from inside objects point of views, such as coffee cups, photocopiers, water dispensers etc. Seeing the characters through the eyes of the office building itself.
With regards to colour scheme and style, I’d like the tone of the film to be quite bland, nothing overly colourful, until the Christmas party, when I think the tone should get warmer, as people drink more, the atmosphere becomes less professional and more social. This will also be aided by art design and the extensive red decoration of Christmas! Maybe also experiment with having some footage desaturated as surveillance footage etc.
