9:40 Attendance & Article

9:45 – 12:10 Star Wars Fan Film

Jedi Bill Lance

Today we’ll tackle the filming of our fan films. You’ve come along, completing tasks in your project backlog and now it’s time to film.

We’ll start with a short Scrum meeting. I’ll ask the 3 questions. You’ll go out to film and work through the process of capturing good audio and video. Some Tips

  • Grab an extra battery
  • Keep camera rolling
  • If you make a mistake, pause and restart (breathing room)
  • Look at your footage – is it shaky?poorly lit? busy? The Kodak Top 10 Rules apply to shooting video too!
  • Rehearse your action sequence
  • Make sure it is quiet on the set
  • A director’s role is to direct the scene, preview the footage
  • A camera person’s job is to capture the scene – stay in focus, minimize shakiness and work with the director
  • An actor should be prepared to act – speak slow enough, move deliberately, communicate with camera person what you are going to do

Filming will take place Wednesday and Thursday this week. Reshoots next week Monday. Then Editing. Finished films should be ready for viewing by Thursday next week.

Grab your book and chill. We’ll be reading today. No computers, no talking. Sit on the couch if you like or move your chair.

1:05 – 1:25 Audio / Sounds Blitz

Your project is likely going to need sounds and sound effects. I’ve collected some great resources for Copyright Free. Dig in and find some sounds/effects for your group.

Tip: Share one Google Drive Folder for the your entire production team. Load sounds / sound effects to it.
