This weeks workshop predominantly concerned with the creation of an in-camera short video. However before that we had a bit of time to show our rough cuts of our interviews, honestly my rough cut of my video was mainly just footage of my subject answering his questions, as I was still working out how exactly how to piece it together, however seeing my other class mates work at least gave me a bit of reassurance that me cutting parts that dragged on without it being to jarring of an edit, as before that was a bit worrying.

The in-camera short video, which i’ll admit I was quite sleep deprived and wasn’t 100% keen about the fact that we couldn’t do any edits. However, this did give me more of an idea of how prepared I really have to be. Even though we had the “story” down (which was a man drops his myki, and the other man tries to give it back to him to no avail, a sort of ordinary pursuit), we improvised many of the shots on location. This allowed us to kinda change things as we go along, however as we couldnt make any edits afterwards, we had to make sure each shot made sense when put together. This is fundamentaly is the case with every film, however the limited options we had after filming a shot made me realise that when filmmaking, not only must I focus entirely on the one shot, but think about the film as a whole when doing so. I already knew this of course, but this was bit of a reminder.
