Class 1
Myself and Aria were selected to act in a lighting exercise. As I was unable to see the monitor, the points raised by Robin and the class about lighting were often left to my imagination. Robin demanded that the class physically move behind the camera to see what was going on, a valuable point that he has made a few times this semester. It wasn’t until Wednesday’s class that I saw the footage, and each aspect came out quite nicely.

Class 2
Paul gave us a chance to formulate groups and work out how we would approach the rest of the semester. Kerry, Andrew, Adelle and I joined a group out of our shared desire to each create something.

We all have short film ideas and though about this an opportunity to make them. However, the more we talked about it, the less it sounded like a good idea. We have settled on each creating *something* – it could be a shot, a series of shots, a short film, but the main focus is the lighting choices rather than some kind of broad idea or theme. In my opinion, we need to narrow down towards a common set of principles or parameters. To be continued.
