Photography
The photography will also support the realistic aesthetic to this film. We should shoot it was we would if we were dealing with actual dialysis patients. I imagine the weaker patients like miles would not agree to be filmed on a set. We’d have to go into their homes and capture them in the most comfortable setting for them.
Overall, the photography will feel very intimate and warm. Interviews will shot in extreme close up and close up depending how each subject responds to the camera. The camera will always have a slight movement, except for some instances when I’ll punctuate certain shots with a very still camera.
The lighting will seem very natural. Our lighting approach will be to utilize natural light and augment natural light.
I’m going to shot mostly on a long lens to give the photography a filmic look. When the film takes us into the homes and personal lives of our subjects we are going to shoot them very intimately and clean. But, in the dialysis center, I’d like to be a bit more voyeuristic. We are witnessing them in private moments as if we are not there. To support this approach the photography in the dialysis center will be more voyeur in nature. We’ll shoot through things, people, and equipment. I want lots of foreground elements and very tight shots on long lenses.
To enhance the look of the image, I’d like to use 35mm lens adapters on both the SDX-900 and the DVX-100 B camera. This will assist in giving us that warm, filmic look.
Two-camera approach:
The high resolution SDX-900 will be our A camera. It will be our principle camera and capture all of the wide shots and masters. The DVX-100 will act as a B camera and capture tight shots exclusively. While we shoot principle shots with the A camera, the B camera will be always roving to capture nuanced cutaways. This will give many more options in the cutting room, make our production more efficient and allow us to tell a better more engaging story.
Here's a few examples of photography that spoke to me for this video:

Example 2
Another thing I'd like to do in some of the homes, particulary Miles's house as well as in Jim's house is to put a little ambience in the air. We can achieve this by using a smoke machine. This especially helps DV look more filmic. Also, in Jim's house it will help sell the shaft of sunlight that one SHOULDN'T place a vial of Epogen in. This will also work well in the classroom shots.
