Roll 12

This is another short roll, and I could've made it even shorter, it didn't turn out very well. I wouldn't blame it on the push processing (I believe this was shot at EI 800 and push-processed appropriately; I had planned to attend rehearsal in the space and needed the extra speed). However this probably resulted in thinner negatives which combined with a lot of black space in the theater setting to show a lot of dust on the scans. The brevity of this roll is probably mostly on me (the first two shots on the roll had alternate versions which I removed, and none of them were focused very well or very interesting). This covers the night I came to rehearsal for a "photo call," meaning that most of these are part of a series of posed, static shots I took for publicity use.

By this point, I was taking no exposure notes whatsoever. Pretty much everything written here is from memory.

The alternate version of this was focused on the rotten orange, slightly closer; it had to be cropped or it didn't make sense. This one is okay.

The alternate of this was just the keypad; I was able to get it in focus, but with depth of field that thin, and being that close, I must've slipped it out of focus; it was too blurry.

Friend of the accused.

Council and comfort.

No listen-- I have a plan.

This is the pose from the poster shot (which was not done by me). I have several versions of it, which all came out well.

The actor on the left kept making the actress laugh, hence her blurry visage.

This was part of the rehearsal that started after the posed shots were done. Note the crescent on the lower-left, caused by me creasing the film accidentally while rolling it for development.

The end-of-the-roll shot that night was unfortunately blurry and mediocre; my camera is not an action camera by any means, but in the end you can't win them all. The actress who is the 'focus' of the shot is blurry, but the faces of the other players were pretty neat, so this shot stayed.
