My goal is to infuse the film with character and texture by utilizing vintage spherical lenses for the main part of the film. Additionally, I would like to explore the idea of using a different lens kit, specifically anamorphic lenses, to create a distinct visual style for the "flashback" sequences.

 

I have also taken into account the practical aspects of weight and size, as we plan to shoot the film predominantly handheld. Lastly, it's important to test the chosen lenses on hair, makeup, wardrobe, and the actors' faces to ensure we are ready to shoot on day 1. 

​

1. Filming with Vintage Spherical Lenses:

• Give the film a unique character and texture by using vintage spherical lenses.

• These lenses possess distinctive qualities that can bring depth and personality to our visuals.

• By pairing vintage spherical lenses with a digital camera, we can combine the charm of vintage aesthetics with the benefits of modern technology.

2. Differentiating Flashbacks with Anamorphic Lenses:

• To make the "flashback" sequences visually distinct, we propose using anamorphic lenses.

• Anamorphic lenses will provide a nostalgic and visually captivating look for these scenes.

• This approach will create a clear separation between the present and the past, enhancing the audience's engagement and emotional connection.
