Y2 Studio Shoot 2016 - A Photograph & Five Words

As part of the Professional Toolkit unit all our second year students undertake a studio shoot.  A number of workshops build up to this including set building, directing actors, moving camera, green screen and more.  Each student works in a specific crew role to experience many facets of digital film making; the interaction and communication between crew members becomes apparent and high end technical skills in digital workflow are learned. Currently they are using the EX3 with Samuri Blade, gimbal, slider, dolly and so on.

This year the project was conceived around 'A Photograph and Five Words'. The year was split into two groups to make a response to one of four chosen photographs and could only use five words in the script. Once training and preproduction was complete the two shoots took place in one week: Mon/Tues for the first shoot, Wednesday for set restyle and prelight, Thurs/Fri for the second shoot.

Every student who has undertaken our Avid workshop this term will get the rushes to cut as their workshop exercise in January. Watch this space (or our YouTube) for links to finished films next year.
