Dungeness - location project

Image
On Thursday, our class went to Dungeness for a day location project. For our pre-production phase on Monday, we went into groups of three (I was with Alyssa and Katie) and were instructed to write a 2/3 page script which we could film at Dungeness (Thursday) and then edit today (Friday) for screening on Monday in front of the class. After looking up Dungeness on Google Maps for location inspiration, we found two key areas we wanted to use.  The abandoned shed (left) and the beach front (right). These two areas gave us the inspiration for our script, which was about two friends who has returned to the beach where their friend had died.

Year 3, pre-production - Camera workshop

In our first workshop of the year, we were given the chance to work with the new Sony A7 cameras and test them out, as well as see how to work them. Unfortunately the file size is too big, possible because I my have been recording for too long, but in this  recording test I did which had the focus adjusted so Sam and Logan where the focus (sharpest) images, while the tables and background were slightly blurred to given more attention to the two of them. It was a lot of fun to test these cameras out, as well seeing the quality they have compared to the other cameras we have previously used, as well as tis, we also learn't that they have capabilities for slow motion and low light, which can look incredible when done right.
