I missed out on week #6’s workshop due to extenuating circumstances (lol jks i was busy writing a paper) but anywho I decided to snoop around my fellow classmates’ blog posts and got a general idea of what to do!

Before, I present to you the masterpiece of a video hahahaha I would like to reiterate the importance of PRE-production. You simply can’t burden everything onto post-production because your past mistakes will make editing a living hell for you. For that reason, this was my approach on pre-production:

I followed the process of scripting the shot, however, I did not go through with the storyboard and replaced it with directing where the “talent/s” would placed within the setting.

Which is why we had to shoot with a continuous shot, perhaps. I obviously missed out class discussion about this and what their opinion may be but we gotta remember to give a bit more love to pre-production than what it deserves.

Here is my take on the continuous shot of “Misunderstandings”.

I played around with my friends whilst filming this and it took at least 5 takes for us to somewhat perfect this. A little disagreement here and there and it also took me out of my comfort zone as I’m not used to the role of a leader. Nonetheless, we ended up with this and I’m 85% satisfied with the finished product. It’s all about practice so I’m not too fussed.
