I’m technically rather good.
To begin we all pitched our ideas to Arit so she could pick the one she preferred, choosing Roberts Apprenticeman idea, about a superhero apprentice who saves the day by getting the admin done.
We storyboarded and got an idea of what was going to happen then Robert wrote a kind of script at home for us to use.
We bought clothes to use as costumes, aiming for silly rather than serious, then searched around college for props to use in each scene.
We shared the duties of lighting and camera work, usually depending on who had to be on camera at the time. As per instructions we took time to make sure things were framed (almost) correctly, and all the light balancing was ok, also making sure things like tripods we’re assembled levelled and straight.
I had to act the role of Apprenticeman so I had to appear on camera a lot, which is not something I want to do again in a hurry as I have known for a while that acting really isn’t my thing, but I managed.
In the video profile I typed up the script in a few minutes, simply told people where to set up camera and talked.
I checked to make sure I was happy with the framing, and that there wasn’t too much background noise or people coming into shot from behind, and we finished it in less than 10 mins.
Editing was trickier, however I really enjoyed it, as it shows you how crucial post production is to a final feature.
Note: photos will be added when I get them from people at college.
