Hi again from Erin, and today task included more technical aspects for the film crew, such as learning how to set up the camera and sound recording equipment.
The crew were split into two groups, one group would do the technical and informative side of film equipment, while the others would creatively string together the shot list. By the way a shot list isn't a violent piece paper of names for some sort of assassin, it's basically what you would seen from the camera's point of view. Somehow I feel I've just personified the camera, but now I'm just waffling on.
Julian from Littlestar Media pointed out that the camera wasn't something to be afraid of, but still needed to be treated carefully. Translation for don't brake it! I know from past experience that once you learnt how shots are considered, you no longer have the ability to just enjoy watching films, but your always justifying why scene are shot the way they appear. The wonders of booms and small microphones proved to be a treat, especially if you like ears dropping. Not that there's any involved in this project.
After a quick performance of what the shot list included so far from Zoe, it was time for the groups to swap. For the next hour it was none stop. I pretty much stuck with the group consisting of Asqa, Farhana, Jessica and Rebekah for the whole day. The shot list workshop came with a bit of role play and Asqa did a pretty good job of conveying how an obsessive geeky gamer might behave. And pretty much by the end of today's session we had a strong shot sequence.
Anyway despite today's extra hour (did you all remember to put your clocks back an hour) I'm feeling pretty sleepy, so night for now, Erin.
