This week has been hectic because we have been learning so much in film class! However, I truly enjoy it because it's challenging that allows us to experience something new.
In my case, since I am going to operate camera three, I will have the chance to learn how to follow a shot list that is out of order as I attempt to balance everything else. Although I am a bit nervous that I will somehow make a mistake, I am confident in my group members and they will help me if I ask.
Another part that I enjoyed about this week was all the new information about lighting and setting it up. Before, lighting was simply another tool that could easily help yet now it has taken a whole new meaning because now lighting is essential for conveying a certain message. It now helps to emphasize certain aspects in a project, or in this case, it will help to bring focus to the decorated set and other small tasks during close ups.
I also like this project because I will be operating a camera for the whole time which has never happened before because I am usually in charge of a job that is mainly aimed towards pre-production. However, with this project, I will have complete control and freedom (well, sort of) of the camera and I cannot wait for that because it's something that I have been looking forward to.
Our group has also agreed to get everything organized as soon as possible and rehearse before the our actual date so that we may have a good look at what we are doing exactly.
Overall, I am excited about this project and I hope everything turns out well!
P.S I like these chips but cookies are better.
Well Alexa I bet you'll do just fine when you get behind the camera .
ReplyDeleteI ALMOST WISH I WAS CAMERA. Darn you guys for making me director! *tear* Directing on Friday took such a huge toll on me. I didn't realize how hard it was going to be. *cry* As for the shot list, I'm working on it. Gahd. Do I have to do everything? I kid, I kid :) But in all honesty, I think I can handle directing. I just need to multi-task better.
ReplyDeleteWe need to make sure the tripod incident doesn't happen again... *crack knuckles*. We spent forever looking for it D:
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the camera! :)
