Week 8 Analysis & Refection Q1:

In this weeks Film TV-1 lecture the content covered was somewhat useful and relevant to our group projects. Being shown how to block out a scene and use a dolly was helpful as on the day of our shoots we will need to know this kind of information and skill. The dolly was really interesting as I have never really seen one be used first hand, and it was surprising to me to see how long it actually takes to set up and conduct, and how many people it actually requires to get the shot. The blocking out of a scene, going through the steps and making sure the camera movement, focus and frame are all appropriate, is definitely something that is very relevant to our film shoots and just good to add to our knowledge base of filmmaking. The main thing I took from this weeks lecture was the explanation about the focus and focus pulling during a shot. Before this, I had no idea there was such thing as a focus puller, and I feel like after being taught this, our project will benefit as we now know how to accomplish a focus pull.
