Week VIII

This week I met up with most of the group. The plan was for us to begin filming, however, the 'janitor' of our production did not show. Being the main character, he was essential. Instead of filming we decided to practice with a camera, to familiarise ourselves with it. Although, disappointing our group member did not show, learning how the camera works was of much help. I now understand the white balance, how to use the iris, the zoom feature, and how to format an SD card. If we were to start filming this week I'm sure we would have wasted a long time trying to figure out how the camera works, so really I deem this a successful week.

Week IV

Week 4 I sat down with a member of my group, and we began script writing. As we were writing the script was more like a screenplay, so we decided to write a screenplay first and then turn it into a script later. With this method, we are taking a more narrative approach to begin with, and then can consider the technical details later, which turned out to be much easier. We started writing the screenplay with a rough idea of the story, but we only had one character so far, and lacked any real depth. However, we knew the beginning and ending, and so were simply writing Act 2 (when considering the three act structure). We went through a number of ideas, spending a few hours getting the screenplay completed.

Week IX

This week we were adamant to start filming. I had contacted our film projects protagonist and had been assured he would show. However, once my group arrived ready to film, the 'janitor' of our film did not show, and was impossible to get a hold of. My group and I have decided this member has one more week, or else we will replace him.

Week V

With a completed screenplay it was time to turn it into script form. This was my first time scripting, so I was learning how to do it as I went along. I learnt the correct way to indent, line spaces, font, specifying location, and writing dialogue. I completed the script this week, however, it can only be considered the first draft because the rest of my group have not seen it yet.
