This uni module has been really interesting and informative, I've learnt such a lot about filming and production, together with 'hands on' experience using our industry standard camera's, recording and lighting equipment etc.
However without doubt this was also incredibly stressful, our class dividing into groups to work together and help with our individual documentary and drama videos. This helping us to understand and experience what it's like to work as a team, become more organised and deal with problems as they arise...
Anyway, together with my documentary and drama groups we worked hard - well most of us :), and I'm happy to say I've finished editing my footage - adding music where appropriate. Now I've just got to wait and see what my tutors think of my attempts.
In the meantime please take a look at my 1st film, my documentary based on 'My Work Life', where I found and interviewed a young businesswoman who has recently set up and is rapidly expanding her successful wedding stationary, invites, 'save the dates' etc.
My Work Life: Save the Date
For my Drama film we had to choose a 3 minute scene from a well known, popular television drama. I chose 'Sherlock' - The Blind Banker, where Soo Lin is hiding in the museum where she works, frightened for her life.
This drama shoot was more intense than my documentary as I had to find a location, make and provide suitable props, choose my Sherlock and Soo Lin actors and direct the remainder of my group with filming, sound and lighting - needless to say I was extremely happy when we finished my filming but I was exhausted too :).
Here's a link to my Sherlock the Blind Banker scene - I hope you like it?
