Week 10: video production (part 3)

Week 10 - the opportunity to show group films on the big screen.


As I remember correctly, we didn't managed to film ours before this session, so we had to do it during it. Fortunately, all my group was present, so as a team manager (I feel like I'm a manager...) I had to give some work to one of them who didn't exactly participated in video production sessions.
... And actually had some fun:

Both of my team mates were actors and I was a director trying to explain how the film should be produced. It didn't actually turn out to be a very easy job and I don't want to say that I did really good in managing my actors, but at least it was funny watching two guys running around the campus.

And I am really really not looking forward to seeing this film on the big screen in front of all my communication skills module people. Our film is absolute non-sense. It should be good though, we've rehearsed it like 3 times minimum. But it doesn't help, I guess.


Next session we are going to be peer assessed, so we must have some basic major project details prepared. I'm doing a TV commercial for 'Blue Nun', so I've prepared a story board, drawn some frames and the main tagline.
We'll see how it goes.

Week 9: video production (part 2)

This session was intended for us to make our storyboards into a motion picture.

My group didn't have a camera booked for this session, because I thought I would use my camera. Actually this is all my fault that result is what it is: my camera crashed, so we weren't able to film anything. Well, not anything, we managed to film some shots, when the camera started to work, but then it crashed again. Oh, and I have to mention that our group consisted of two people. As always.
(At first, I thought I was going to be alone in the session again, but one of my peers somehow managed to appear...)

After this unfortunate event we decided to re-film everything next week. One of the smartest decisions we had made was to book a university's camera, which didn't seem so smart later.

All we had to do is to film the bloody film and import it into a computer, but after lots of running around the campus, we weren't able to import the film into a computer. And the reason was that the camera was somehow messed up and recorded only the last bits of scenes and of course wasn't even recognised by any of the university's computers.

... And that's how everything ended. No one showed some interest in what's going to happen or even what happened earlier.
I said to myself that I am going to make the film myself, but then the idea of no one being considerate put me off doing anything for my group. 

I just hope my lecturer would understand.
