At first look producing the group project “Weston rock” seemed a daunting prospect. Andy explained the function of roles within the project and the division of work. Although we were each given primary roles that we are ultimately responsible for its still expected that we each try out different roles on the project.
Shooting “Weston Rock” is a massive undertaking and it felt like we had bitten off more than we could chew but Andy then went on to explain the processes behind shooting a film. As a group and individually we spent the morning working on what is known as a shot list. This is a break down of the script scene by scene detailing each shot with a thumbnail sketch. In the absence of a story board it’s a great way to get an idea of how a shot will look and what will be required of cast and crew, its also a good way of seeing if a shot will actually work at all.
The second process is known as a shooting schedule. The scenes are grouped together into shoots. They’re grouped together to make shooting as efficient as possible although that can mean that scenes are not shot in sequence.
