Hello Folks,
Thanks for the help! 2 quick questions:
1. We are going to have a scene in a convenience store. As I understand it, we don't need to empty out the entire store to stock it with prop-cola and prop-chicken. We will stick with shallow depth of field, and no single brand will be "showcased". I also read that as long as the product is being used via its "traditional" means, its OK, and that it is not defaced/defiled. If we don't focus on it (literally and figuratively) the bag of chips the character brings to the counter need not be a prop...correct?
2. One of our characters is an avid reader. His room will be filled with books. IE The Great Gatsby...any problem with something like that being in a shot? Again, not the focus visually, but an important part of the scene.
thank you!
Neil
