PRACTICE FILM OPENING

PREP: Write a blog post about what you and your production team have done in this task. It is normal to include comments about the learning process, such as the need to re-shoot, to re-frame, to re-focus. Write about what you tried to achieve and the thinking behind what you did (one paragraph per point below).

1. Brief account of learning to use the cameras and tripods (see here for example)
2. Research before (what you learned from Delicatessen)
3. Explain the brief (tabletop shoot; live action shoot; soundtrack of Emily Barker Nostalgia; titles)
4. Tabletop task: what props you picked and what story they told
5. Filming issues: what went right, wrong, how you dealt with it + photo
6. Editing decisions, such as timing + photo
7. List of the credits and your film title
