And let the filming … continue. Last week, my group and I have begun filming for our short film assignment (and click here for a recap) which now brings us to our second week of production. We began the week by reviewing all the footage we had captured and did a somewhat rough cut of the opening […]
Read more "Play It Again"And let the filming begin. This week, my group and I began filming for our film. But before we actually did some official filming – the one where it’s actually part of the final product – we first did some test filming. We agreed to do this to see if the shots we envisioned would work […]
Read more "Let Me See First"Last week, we presented. This week, we decided. After having pitched my film and listen to other people pitch their ideas, this week, we chose which film ideas will be made and the core groups we will work in. And in terms of the core group I’ll working in, I’ve chosen to work for Kris’ […]
Read more "So Here’s The Plan"For me, this week was pretty much all about editing videos as part of our third assessment. The first video is of a compilation of short clips and the other two were re-makes of two scenes from two different films. The compilation of short clips were a combination of videos captured by yours truly and fellow […]
Read more "Cut It"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"One scene, three shots. That was our class exercise this week. As a collective, we needed to film a scene about a girl telling a guy that she was moving to a different country using three different shots. There were some roles to fill – director, first assistant director, cinematographer, first assistant camera, camera production […]
Read more "I’ve Scene It"Our first class for the week took a slightly different turn than usual as most of the class was dedicated to listening to other people’s observations. 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"During our third week into this studio, we watched a series of short films made by a Sydney student way back when. The first one was of a man doing yoga. What makes this short film different, and the rest alike made by the student, is that it shows what the man is doing but […]
Read more "Let’s Talk"This week has been all about practicality. And by that I mean, we learned more about how to use the Sony EX3 camera and how to record audio using them. I was introduced to a new term, which considering the fact that I’ve never heard of it means that there truly are a lot of […]
Read more "You Gotta Learn"It’s the end of my first week back at uni and I’ve already had to film something. This is quite the stark contrast from my first semester which was filled primarily with introductions and readings which I completely forget about the day after I read them. Obviously, these things are understandable considering that I’m still […]
