In this session brief, we created the concept for our short plan and set out a plan to what each individual team member would create for the next session when we would be film and how we can best prepare for this session.
The main aspect that we had to consider during the pre production of this film is that all the scenes could only be edited within the camera. So we could not use and post production editing to improve our film.
It took us a while at first to think of a concept that would stand in a five minute non audio film, but once we had our idea we set to work straight away in the lesson and created our script with timing schedules (below).
From this script, we then delegated the separate pre production processes that needed to have taken place and be created. Sara was to create a more detailed and thorough script, Alex created the treatment, James completed the risk assessment and i was to create the storyboard (below).
Personally i was pleased with my storyboard, apart from some mistakes with technique and materials used,, i think i was able to capture the main significance of each scene and not visually over complicate it. So when we came to filming it would be easily understood.
Today we actually began the filming, as the cameras were hired out and we were pretty much ready to go, with consideration to props etc and after we had the conformation from our lecturer Jane that we could begin we set for town to begin our filming.
We arrived to our first location quite quickly as we drove down and we had previously planned where we wanted to film so we headed straight there.
The filming went well, everyone but Sara was actually on film as she was the cameraman and kept us in line. We worked well apart from the occasional giggle and loss of attention. The only negatives i would say were that by filming in a high street there were a lot more distractions and loss of film because of people walking into the shot etc. The other problem was that by the time we had got into town at about 3pm we were already starting to loose day light, but fortunately we managed to get our filming completed in time to what i would believe to be a high standard.
I think because we completed our task in the same learning group as previous tasks this has allowed us to become use to each others skills and behaviour. So we can decipher who would be best suited for different tasks, making the group dynamics stronger as we can pull in different skills and suggestions from the different points of views from within our learning group. Overall this task went well, and i enjoyed it further as it has given me knowledge into a field i had no previous experience in and it was an enjoyable task because of its creativity and freedom. I would be most interested in taking part in a similar project in the future and taking the skills and knowledge i learnt from this task into future works.
Until Next Time
