We're filming our own version of the Lenny exercise in class tomorrow afternoon.
Kieran isn't going to be in class so I'll be taking over the sound element. I'm worried. I'm pretty sure I'm the last person who should be in control of that. It's good because I know if I have trouble, someone in the group could help me.
It's kind of good in a way because I mean, I wouldn't have gotten a chance to have a go at the sound element if he was here tomorrow. I'm excited to see how it goes, although with my little arms I'm not sure how long I'll be able to hold the boom up for ;)
Stay tunned to see how we went!

No dialogue doen't mean no script
It's interesting working on a script without any dialogue. I'm fully confident as a group we're going to pull it off...Unless our actors don't show up on the day of filming.
We've got some great ideas for actors and the script that Kieran wrote is really alluring and captivating.
It's a challenge but at the same time if we execute it properly (and I have no doubt we will) it'll definitely pay off. It's a different approach that I thought no-one else would really do - but in class we found out nearly everyone is doing a no-dialogue films. Takes away the uniqueness away from ours but I'm interested to see how everyone else's turns out.
There's another group doing the same plot idea as us and so far despite being vaguely about the same thing, they're so different.
I'm confident our group is on track with organising our film. We've sussed a location - K's hooked us up with a great place in Frankston. And we're holding auditions later this week, which I'm really excited about. I've been working on costumes and make up and the general aesthetic style and feel. It's pretty fun because the dream-state make-up and outfits make the film raunchy and exciting.

Call me, Production Desirreeee
thats right. I am my groups production designer.
I sound pretty confident right? honestly though, what's a P.D?
So, as all good students do when they're confronted with an unfamiliar term; I google'd.
I soon found i was responsible for the overall look of a filmed event. Which includes but is not limited to the colour design, styles, genre, makeup, costuming and props.
In pre-production I'm going to have to concentrate and work heavily with our designer to create a particular vibe and feel of the set. I think it's one of, if not the most important element of the film. It's the first thing the audience see, absorbs, reacts and relates to. The visual appeal of the environment is crucial.
Now that I've said that, gosh there's so much pressure to find (not only) the perfect location but the perfect angle.
Wish us luck!
Lights. Camera. Lenny?
Our exercise 2 weeks ago was to (as a group) learn/refresh our finalcut skills. We were given a marked up script and from there had to piece together our interpretation of the directions.
I liked how our groups version turned out. Very different to the rest of the class.
We were the only group to use a particular head shot.
I was worried the sound issues were going to be a problem but everyones videos were in the same boat.
The exercise was a good group exercise and we managed to complete it quickly because we all were familiar to finalcut. Kieran added the final video to his blog!
