2 Scenes in 2 hours. This week, we were given the task to film and re-make two scenes, each from two different films. The first scene we filmed was fairly easy considering it was one shot that had barely any camera movement. For the filming of this scene, I was the boom pole operator. The […]
Read more "Look Again"Thursday – 25 August 2016 One hand clutched tightly to the handle bar above while the other balanced a book as he stood sandwiched in the packed train carriage.

Read more "Hold On"Tuesday – 23 August 2016 He stood in front of the wall of shoes and next to a glass box showcasing another pair of shoes.

It was quite interesting hearing about the observations that other people have made and being questioned whether it has ‘filming potential’. This made me curious as to how can […]
Read more "I Have A Question"Wednesday – 10 August 2016 I couldn’t understand what they were saying as they spoke in language that was foreign to me.

Read more "Dining Decisions"Tuesday – 9 August 2016 They sat very close together on the couch. The guy had his arm over the girl’s shoulders as she shifted herself closer to him.
