Location Issue

As Ricardo and I began to plan out our shots and schedule, we realized we had come up with a huge problem with the location. Since it is set in the bathroom, and we don't have an actual set to film it in, we will have to manipulate the camera and basically press it against the wall in order for it to work. 

Ricardo's bathroom, the one we are filming in, is long, but not wide at all. The main actor sitting on the toilet basically takes up most of the space already, and we don't have enough space for the cameraman and the camera to fit. 

We have approximately 3 feet of space from the actor to the camera; however, this is tricky to do well seeing as we don't have the equipment to maximize the space. Ricardo currently has a Lumix G7 with a micro 4/3 sensor size. 

The 2x crop factor cuts half of our field of view, so we cannot get the proper width of the shot we need. 

We tested out different angles with Ricardo's 14mm lens, and realized that it would only give us approximately 3.84 ft of width.

This is not enough space. 

We decided to approach the equation from a different perspective, starting with the amount of feet we need, approximately 4 and a half feet. From this, we found that the lens we would need is a 12mm lens. 

The only problem is that Ricardo doesn't own a 12 mm lens, and they are extremely expensive. 

Considering that this is about $150 over our budget, we need to find another solution.
