Reflections On Second Test Shoot

Apart from the fact that we couldn't film our actual footage for the final sequence, I think that this shoot was useful. We managed to resolve some problems such as discontinuous lighting and we finished reasonably early so I really think that on our actual shoot in a week’s time, with our actual actors, we will be able to film good footage at last.

Preparing For Second Shoot

Tomorrow is our second shoot. Although this was meant to be our main shoot, due to unforeseen circumstances, our actor won’t be available so we have to use our friend who used to do Media, Tom. Hopefully we can use this as a test shoot and possibly get some shots of cutaways to use in our final sequence?

Break for Hollywood

Just a quick post. Tomorrow, I'm going to Hollywood on a Media trip where hopefully I should get some real inspiration. This means that until Monday 22, there will be no posts, so bye for now!

Reflections on First Shoot

I think that today went well, I really think that we captured enough footage (thirty minutes on tape) and we managed to quality control each shot. On Monday, we'll see how it all looks but I think that it went well for a test shoot. Also, I decided to bring my camera to the shoot to take some photographs and video:

Script for 'Dawn'

After doing some research into the style of scripts and screenplays on Script - O - Rama, I decided to make a script for 'Dawn' in the style of an industry screenplay. This was later corrected with the help of my two colleagues.

Releasing Equipment of First Shoot

Our very first shoot is tomorrow and our equipment has been released to us. I'm taking the paglight and production folder so I have to be up pretty early to get to our location (Kerry's house) so we can do a good eight hours of filming with the daylight.

Group Meeting 4 Reflections

Although we didn't have to have this meeting, I think that it was necessary to meet up again so that we could all work on our script and props list together.

Group Meeting 3 Reflections

I think that using this meeting for constructing a storyboard was useful because we needed one anyway to help us on the shoot. Additionally, we had to do this storyboard as a group so that we could all agree on what our sequence should look like.
