Here a camera. There a camera. Everywhere a camera!

This week we got to play with the video cameras. And of course, by "play with" I mean "learn about for our academic and professional benefit." They are really cool. Kind of complicated (there are a lot of little things to remember), but very very cool. I'm definitely excited to get to the filming stage over the break.

As for our group, this week we assigned the roles of Producer (that would be me), Director (Bec), and Production Designer (Mel). We also wrote the script. This we did as a whole group, which worked out really well. We already knew what our scenes were going to be, so it was fairly easy to go through them one-by-one and put them into script form. We've continued working on the script draft by sending it back and forth through the group gmail to add things in and make revisions. Bec, being the director, is in charge of putting together a first draft shot list and then sending it out for the rest of us to go over. We've discussed what we want the film to look like, so I think we're all on the same page for that and hopefully shouldn't have to revise it too much. I'm in charge of typing up the shot breakdown pages so that we can put together the actual production schedule. We're planning on filming on either the Tuesday-Wednesday or Wednesday-Thursday of the break. I think we're all really excited to actually shoot the video now that we're really seeing it come together in the script. The script, shot list, and production schedule are due on Wednesday, so our plan is to have everything done by Monday night, have Tuesday to double check and make final revisions, so that it's all ready to go first thing Wednesday morning.
