Research
This post is to keep track of all the research I've done, and it will be updates as I gather more information
I specified in my aims and intentions that one of my aims in terms of cinematography was to film in a 2:1 aspect ratio. Since I don't think the cameras support 2:1 natively (my camera does not), it's important to crop to it in Premier Pro. I had to find out how to do this, and I used these weblinks:

I made this video to first, see if my camera is appropriate for the production, to test out a few shots I had in mind just within my own bedroom, and to apply a 2:1 aspect ratio to a video to see how it comes out. I made a terrible effort to make it seem like the room I would be making it by throwing a few clothes around and mucking it- but it didn't quite come out as I would've have liked it. I also made the mistake of filming this scene at night. In the plot this would be happening in morning sunlight so realistically this scene would not be lit up like it is now. However, I did this test to see if my camera could handle lowlight well. So as a result of this experiment I've discovered:
1. My camera has proven itself truly abhorrent at handling low light situations, so I probably should not use it to film the actual piece. Hopefully the school cameras can be better.
2. I've found a shot that I'd like to use for the introduction to the post credits scene- and also made a mental note to find perhaps a bigger bedroom to film from to get a decent video clip.
3. As expected the 2:1 aspect ratio is definitely a winner. I might even go for a 1.85:1 ratio to get an even more cinematic feel.

can you put your pitch ideas on?
