Friday 4th November 2016. Practical Screencraft. Andy James
Recapped over the set 1 minute film from last weeks task.
Call and Response Project
We were set a new task - create a 1 minute film which explores 1 piece of equipment from the list below, we would then choose our sound recording devices or any additional software to create our sound bites, as well as utilising a camera to create a 1 minute film.
We used a Canon C100 for the filming but we also used the on board mic slot for a directional microphone to record any of the sound effects that were picked up through the camera.
Task Brief
I had the director role throughout this piece of work, at first I thought that it was a pointless exercise, however after looking back at the idea and the film I feel like I learnt to manage my time a lot more efficiently within a crew. I also worked on the set design and chose the camera angles specifically for the subject that we were addressing within the dissertation that I was attempting to write up.
The script idea that I came up with was to use a watch as the main piece of equipment, linking to the idea of time passing in a short space of time, I wanted to give the feeling that I was under pressure, stressing out and starting to get really angry with the repeating ticking noise that you can hear if you listen carefully. I think that the piece itself was edited together perfectly and I think that the shoot was well planned which included all the aspects of the production for "Clocking Out"
