The mood of this project.
Subtle comedy is what we are going for, along with the element of chaos.
It’s a lot of the chaotic nature of the fire drill episode of The Office. The camera movements (the zoom-in/close-ups and jump cuts), and the jumping around of conversation.
The basis of the project is to unveil a well-known truth and take away the rose-tinted glasses.
To add the shaky camera effect, I will use handheld tripods and walk with the camera instead of remaining stationary in scenes. Like in this clip of Abbott Elementary where we can see the camera moving from person to person as they speak and capturing facial expressions/reactions throughout the conversation.
In types of shows like dramas, cameras are not a part of the show. They are not noticed nor are they recognized by the cast let alone the audience.
