Week three catch up

This week was our planning week, we spent the whole week planning for our practise shoot on the weekend. We had three group meetings and in these meetings we sat down and got to work. We had our idea but we didn't know it shot by shot so we needed to make a storyboard.

We used three different coloured cards, green for long shot, pink for mid shot and orange for close up, this is so we could see clearly the ratio of different type of shots we have in our sequence. We also did the shooting schedule this week, this is very important as we needed to know what we were going to shoot and in what order.

 

 Then it came to the weekend and we started our practice shoot, This was very helpful as we got to grips with the equipment and found out anything we might not be able to do and we had a change to experiment with shots,  i think it wen't pretty well, we'll see on monday, but it took us a lot of time to set up and get organised around 2 hours, so when we do our real shoot we have to make sure we don't take as much time.

This is us doing the practice shoot, we were out the night before so we didn't look to well. I was weearing i suit because i was also the actor in it.

What have i learnt this week?

I have learnt that there is a lot of planning that needs to be done before we shoot the proper thing, also i have learnt that i cant go out the night before we shoot as it affects my concentration the next day. Also we learnt that we need to change the order we shoot things in as we forgot to do some shoots, i think for our main shooting weekend we should do the shots in chronological order, and then we can't forget anything. 

see you next week x
