FILMING TIME

The past two days we filmed. I have to admit that it was pretty fun. We used Naysan's house and his housemates volunteered as actors for our film.
The most annoying thing I reckon was doing white balance. I hated it.
Yesterday we decided to have a break so we lay down on a couch. We all literally fell asleep and I was surprised that filming could take so much out of us.
Vu, Lisa and I did a lot of the filming as Naysan sort of directed the actors what to do, as he was the main character in the film. We all took in turns to hold the boom mic which I didn't like at all.

Tutorial Task

Pre-production done and DONE

We finished pre-production today.
After Naysan and Lisa did the rough of the script on the weekend, we went over it and made some minor changes here and there. Nothing major.
I then worked on the stuff like what props we would need etc.
Lisa, Naysan and I then did the shot list, which was frustrating, simply because it is easy to screw up a table, and we did this many times.
Once post-production was done, we had a drink at uni bar before heading off to mid-semester break.

Pre-production

So we met with Josh and completely changed our idea.
Well not completely.
Instead of having it about the guy who does everything for everyone
We changed it to.. wait for it.....
someone who thinks they are so top and good to people, when really, they're actually a dick head.
We also did the first draft of the script and the shot list.
Lisa and Naysan are going to meet up on the weekend to do the rough copy of the script.
We already have a rough of the scenes, just need the details.
Not much to go on Pre-production now which is good because it's due next week.

Brain Storming

Today we met for our first group meeting to discuss ideas.
We had a fair few ideas but in the end we liked the following idea the best.

Something to do with someone who always does things for other people and they always take advantage of that.
Eg. buys his friends drinks and they never pay him back.
You get the point.
This literally took hours to think of.

Organised a group today

So for our main production we finally organised a group today. I was away last week, and as it be, so was the rest of my group. So now that we are behind, we have called ourselves,
DEADLINE
Our group consists of:
Naysan Eshraghi
Lisa Ditlefsen
Anh Vu
Fiona Yang
and of course me.

We have organised to meet up tomorrow and have the task to think of ideas for our "how to" video over night.

Week 4

In week 4 we focused on Language in film.
We studied the different types of angles, and shot types etc, including rule of thirds and the 180 Degree rule.
