PLAN FOR REST OF SEMESTER:

These are the things I need to do before my shoot:

• Try out different environments to get good at camera.
• Find people I work well with.
• Practice working by myself
• Practice doing a planned out shoot as well as fully improvised and then do one to try and create a good medium.
• Create a scene or two every week leading up to the day of my final scene shooting, try and do it on the days I especially don’t feel like doing it.
• Find people for following roles:
  • 1^st AD
  • Sound
  • Boom (Potential)
  • Cam Ass
• Practice tracking shots and gain more knowledge of point of view

I can do this by doing a practice shoot that incorporates different elements that I need to work every week, if not twice a week. For example:

In the next week I can do a shoot where I use the camera we have been using in class to get my skills up to scratch with the camera, I will do this shoot on my own in an outdoor environment, this shoot will be planned out extremely well, this will be a long single shot.

The week after that I may do a shoot just on my phone to experiment with points of view, this time incorporating actors.

This way I will be able to cover the large basis of things I need to before my shoot, all the while doing the research to find which combination of factors works best for me.
