Hi All,
Great forum, stumbled upon it last night!
I have nearly finished a script for a short film and am now looking at locations etc and doing mockups of certain scenes to make sure they flow well.
One of the scenes is a 5min conversation between a financial planner and his mentor in a cafe. My questions is whether it will be straightforward from a practical sense to get the footage from the intended cafe (assuming cameras in correct position and stationary in relation to where the talent is sitting) and then just green screen their performances in once it has been cast.
I would like the director/actors to be able to do as many takes as needed to get that scene right.
Will that be straightforward? Is there anything I should look out for in terms of searching for the right cafe? (am going to be listening to the cafe too as Alcove says)
Am a complete newbie to all this but its fun so I want to learn..
Cheers,
David Collett
