Creative Project Review

Well my last creative project must be for the DP1, and this was a 'One Shot Short'. In this project we had to produce a Short film, between 1-5 minutes. So it wasn't to short and not to long and boring. This was a good exercise but we were then hindered with the rules; The camera had to stay on a tripod and only move on the tripod. This is where we as a group had to think of what we could make, considering we were stuck in one position with only moving up, down, and left and right.

I had a thought of being on night out, and used the camera in 4 different stages, as the camera rotates 360, this would require good acting to pull off, and in my opinion, 5 multimedia freshers aren't the next John Travolta.

So the process of how we got our project done;

-Think creatively in a group throwing ideas to each other of what we can do, remembering the key limits to the project.
-Note the sensible ideas down, and realistically thinking if they are possible without hiring acting's etc.
-To book or ask permission of space that we wanted to use to film in.
-Once deciding on location, booking equipment ready for the day we are wanting to film.
-To each write a storyboard and make a final storyboard with the our ideas as a collaboration.
-FIlm and critique, film again, critique until we were happy with our result.
-Discuss as a group ideas on how we are wanting to edit our film and what we would like as a final result.
-Editing the film and critique the edit to see how we can make the final edit even better.
-Upload to Youtube..

I will post again with the final project and write a mini review of how it went and how we could have improved it.
