Week 3 (Thursday the 16-17th of March)

Our focus this class was learning about filming techniques, this involved experimenting with the camera and learning it’s settings- a game of trial and error. I’ve already done a lot of filming in my Diploma of Screen and Media so I knew how to use both RMIT’s cameras and the one I want to film with, my Panasonic Lumix GH4. This make the class breezy and relaxing.

Our group Emily, Lisa, Kasia and myself decided we didn’t want to use the footage from the tutorial for our project so scheduled a time to meet outside of the studio so we’d be able to do some more filming- preferably in a more exciting location. We set to meet up in Brunswick street as there is a very certain ‘style’ and feel that emulates from that location. The goal is to create a video for our project that is fun, vibrant and reflects a very ‘chick’ street fashion. I’ll be set to bring my Panasonic whilst Emily is also bringing a camera. Although I am bringing a Video Rode Mic we probably won’t end up using it as the video will be overlayed with music and no audio will be needed. I do know from experience it’s always better to over prepare then under prepare.
