Film Project #1 – INFO FILM

For our first assignment this year we had the task of making a film proving that we know how to set up the camera and sound equipment. Apart from proving our knowledge we were also assessed on the quality and the creativity of the film which ment we weren’t supposed to make just a regular tutorial.

For our info-film, based around how to use the recording equipment we use for the course, we decided to film an action – thriller style piece called ‘don’t die’, where a girl is held hostage and is put in a life or death situation where she has to assemble the equipment within five minutes .  Ben Morgan was director, Adam was executive producer and editor, myself and Lewis were cinematographers, though we all shared each others roles so we can have a equal understanding of the roles for future project purposes. – I helped ensure with the rest of my team that we had all of the equipment needed, time management so we knew when to film and our actors were accounted for, crew diligent and arriving on time, and that the footage was edited before the deadline came. All four of us worked collaboratively in the editing booth to finish the film the week after filming.
