Phone Booth | One-shot Micro Film

Here is a quick project I did to practice lighting. Thank Jess a whole lot for helping out. The idea came to mind as I was in the bathroom and I then wrote a few random sentences into a script lol. There is a phone booth near my place that I had always wanted to shoot something with it. The time finally came and I shot this as a one-shot film. Took us, surprisingly, soooo many takes. It was good fun tho, because I hadn't done a one-shot film before. The ending was cool too. Thought about it for a while about how I should do it. Eventually, I got Jess to do it herself and it turned out great! Had a lot of fun color grading as well.

Pulling focus was actually pretty tough because the lens was at T1 wide open and I kept moving. For the audio, I used the Zoom F1 with its lapel mic clipped to the other side of the shirt collar where the camera couldn't see.
