Production

Following creating our storyboard within our group we were told we then had to exchange said storyboard with another group within the class and then go and film the scene they had written up. The first page of the storyboard was good with decent directions and some rather strange camera angles, the second page was good, clear concise and easy to understand. The third page repeated two of the shots from page two which confused us and we assumed it was a mistake and ignored it as they both stated the same thing. The forth page was hard to read and make sense of but we did what we thought was meant from the storyboard we'd been given. Generally our group did well, I was the camera man within the group and Meg and Becky did the acting. We all chipped in our ideas for the direction of the piece and overall I think the filming went off without much of a hitch, sans a few re-shoots due to giggling. We got on well with the tech due to my previous experience and the demonstration that Mr Smith gave us, shame about the costs of the tapes, £2.50 is a bit much for a dead technology. Anyway, most of the shots used were over the shoulder, mid shots, and one very low angle one. All in all, I think the task did went well and hope that we do some more filming soon!

  1. A dead technology. How very cutting. Sadly for you, you are required to re-animate the corpse of tape recording and crack on with it.

    I agree my demonstration was first rate though.

    Try and jazz this up a bit with some photos of the technology used. See Jemma Reading's blog for examples.
