Today was another day in the TV studio, this time practising with some lighting, and i had a better look at the Canon 5d which i will be using to film Katarina's Dance film. Photos coming up later.
As for other projects...
Still going through afew script changes on the Short 10 minute film i am working on with Sarah. However i have been working on a few ideas for shots that i have been sketching out. Hopefully as soon as the script is done i can work on a shooting script and storyboards.
I also have another project to add to the others, which is for Miles Bowe who is travelling across various coastal locations, using different microphones to gather recordings and needed some accompanying footage, which is where i come in.

14th January - Me and Katarina booked out the TV studio to have a practice with the Steadicam. We practiced with both the Canon 550d and the Canon 5d. Using the 550d was much harder mainly due to a few weight issues, as the 550d with a 50mm lens was considerably lighter than the 5d that had a battery pack on and quite a heavy lens. Next time we attempt to practice were going to have to have a few tricks up our sleeves in regards to weighing it down and hopefully it will work much better.
21st January - Katarina and I, again booked out the TV studio this time to practice with the dolly. We had a few complications with this, which i think we manage to sort out.
26th January - i met with Sarah to go over a few ideas for script changes. Also we went over a brief schedule of things we need to do to get the ball rolling.
So today me and Sarah have a meeting with our tutors to go over what we have done and what we plan to do. After that we are going to check out a couple of locations we can use as the films main location. when this is done we hope to have the dates of when we are going to film.
Tomorrow i will be again joining Katarina and a few other members of the crew to go over some lighting ideas for her experimental dance film.

Projects
So as part of my third year practical portfolio I have 3 projects to work on. The first is a 10 minute short film directed by Sara Mcfeat, the second is a documentary directed by Jade Jones and the third is an experimental Dance film directed by Katarina Complova.
The first step I propose to take when working on the short film is to go through the script and make notes on what I think will look good and what will work.
As for the documentary, due to the nature of it being a "documentary" much of what will be shot will be planned there and then. However there is still a certain style that myself and the director wants to achieve therefore we will be planning what type of shots we want beforehand. This will include looking at locations, lenses we want to use, and to a certain extent the positioning of the camera's as we have already discussed using two so as to capture everything as it happens from more than one position.
For Katarina' experimental dance film I will be helping her with the camera work. Leading up to the project we will be practising and training ourselves with various tools used with the camera.
Any practices and training I do with the camera will be documented and included in my portfolio.
