week 3

i am in group with Meerim and i think we have come up with sort of a drama story for our movie) and i feel like drama is very suitable for a silent movie, if you put some music as a soundtrack, that reflects people's emotions)
we are still working on it, the most difficult thing now is several night shots, but i think we will figure that out)

week 2

we really was put in a real life situation with all the unpredictable circumstances - rain, cold, disturbing elements (people walking here and there)
it was a luck we got Bob in our group, an experienced person in video production) he gave us a lot of tips about setting up the camera, varieties of possible angles, etc
i volunteered to be the person who do the actual shooting (of course Bob helped a lot also)), it was a new experience, due to everything looks different through the camera lens))
in the end, we have got really a nice result (also managed to put some music on background) and hopefully will keep it up next time)))

ps I really enjoyed when I forced Bob to play one scene three or four times in the rain to get the realistic shot )))

Video Production, week 1

I am very curious what is going to happen next week as we will have our first assignment. Cameras are just great, i guess we will manage to find out its' features right on the spot, rather than studying the manual at home without cameras :)
can't wait till next tuesday for the first movie to be done by us))
