In todays lesson we were teamed up with the Cinematography group who were in to film our piece. Our group would each Direct, Assistant Direct and Art Direct each scene of our piece. The whole process went quite well and I learnt a lot from this experience. I directed the first part of the sequence and it was good experience once I got in to it.
Our set on camera looked very good and I was quite happy with what we created. Some elements of the shoot I would have liked to have changed such as, the position of the character or some small elements on the set but I had to leave that down to the Director in charge at the time.
Even though I am not on the Cinematography course I did learn a thing or too about camera techniques, focusing levels, light levels and measuring distances. It was also good to know what the Assistant Director had to say on set to make sure the crew listens.
Overall, I enjoyed the filming lesson and came away with new techniques. I think it has been a good experience and in doing this I have begun to think about learning more in the Art directing field.
