Week 3 First Test Shoot on Set

So today we were testing out our gear (particularly sound) and getting a rough idea of how our shots are actually gonna form around our set. Clips below are a random assortment of us briefly going through our storyboard shot list as well as discussing changes we're going to make to the shots we'd planned.

Sorry for the shitty quality of these mashups, Blogger limits the file size to shit all so any longer vids are gonna look like crap- but you can see the general idea of where our shots are heading compositionally. 

This is a lil rough compilation of our storyboard plan stuck together (but not properly edited)


This is us working out that a lapel mic combined with (white) reflectors will be the best lighting/sound combo for when we're shooting outside. We're gonna have to be aware of timing between our shots due to the sporadic traffic that passes the road behind where we're shooting.

This evening we'll continue prepping our sets for tomorrow's shooting and making flash cards ect for our actors convenience. Hopefully everything will run smoothly and we won't need to reshoot anything. :)

The desired action after this video is not just to donate to our company, we want our viewers to want our product too, ideally we would provide this through signup channels or some equivalent in the website directed at the end of the video. We relied heavily on humour for a persuasion technique as we felt it was the most effective to our target audience, (most young people don’t give a damn about statist...

Week 3.2 Planning and Learning How to Edit

Image
In class this friday we learned how to colour correct and colour grade and the importance of this as a persuasion technique in videos. I kept basic notes in my book of how to do this for Jess and I to refer back to, and the ideas of how I want to apply these techniques to our own work... At the end of class Jess and I got together and discussed a new rough plan for the next few weeks. We began allocating jobs and setting a loose time frame for when we needed them completed. This is in the pic of our workbook below.
