I have been trying to create a vision for my idea in terms of how the shots will be positioned and in terms of framing. I've wanted to use wide shots for a while now since researching films such as Falling Down for themes of anger. I am also a fan of the Directing of Sergio Leone. (A Director most famous for spaghetti westerns ala Fistful Of Dollars. For these reasons I want the film to appear quite spacious regardless of the size of the shooting space. I have been looking in depth about film spacing and how to make the picture seem larger than it actually is. Filming slightly outside of the room and allowing the camera to get in close from every angle. I took inspiration from the Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho for this, particularly the shower sequence which was discussed and analysed in a film lecture.
(Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece, Psycho (1960)
I have also been looking at the 180 degree rule and how to implement this in exterior scenes featuring David and Diana. The 180 degree rule is a guideline that is followed by film makers when filming with two people. It means that when they are both being filmed in shot, they can not cross over to the other side of the frame. For this reason I will be looking more in depth at how I concieve of my shots with more accuracy involved.
