deadline day

Today was our deadline for the storytelling unit, I am pleased to say I was able to finish the project with a whole 15 minutes to spare! I feel happy with the overall piece as throughout all the stress, unorganised-ness (not a real word but oh well), and bailing actors I am happy with the outcome. Here is a list of do's and don'ts so i am prepared for the next project:

1. Get actors/actresses that won't bail out on you for example friends on the course or family.
2. make sure when filming:
- the camera is charged
- you have your storyboards
- you have your script
- you plan when to film and are prompt i.e don't decided to film at 5.30pm when its going to be dark by 7.00pm
- DON'T BE IN YOUR FILM unless another student on your course can work the camera as you may end up with bad quality lighting and focus.
3. make sure you can print all your work off without any difficulties/ buy a printer to save stressing

I think that is everything!

The Meeting Trailer

I've have finally finished my trailer for the meeting. I was assigned to produce a 1-2 minute trailer for my 10 page script. I feel I have done the best I can and through all the disasters along the way I am quite proud of what I have achieved. Here is a link to it on youtube if i can't get it on here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8M6gvdLLe8

Trailer disaster take two!

This weekend I took a camera out to get some close up shots and others ones to try explain the story more. All I can say is NEVER use yourself to act as it goes wrong! Some of the shots of myself are out of focus and the lighting isn't brilliant either but i will have to make do with what I've got now and hope for the best.
