Having had a tutorial on using video cameras and a chance to take some shots and editing them helped with becoming familiar with the technical equipment. Although I ended up using a different camera and a bit of practice would have been helpful.
Getting an idea for the film took some mulling over - trying to keep the idea simple and clear seemed to be key elements. A sequential list of shots was written down and then thought put into camera position and shot type (wide, medium, close-up)for each step in the sequence. Next was schooling up the 'stars' as to facial expressions and actions they would need to portray. Then it was out there to do it..... After a few hicupps we had it 'in the bag' and it was back to the computer lab for the next step - how to work the movie editing software and actually put the film together.
