Two-man job!! (by Miko)

It's time for a blog update huh? This update won't have any pictures neither, but I'll make it up to you with a video, which is actually our second assignment at the education centre. The equipment we used for the film was Sony-A1 camera, tripod and small attachable boom-mike and for editing we used Premiere and that's it.

Our assignment was to make a shortfilm with some kind of story. It had to have a one or two twists. We had five days to complete our task. For three days we planned it carefully and went through our filming locations and tried to get actors, but the actor part turned out unsuccesful. We didn't get any actors, except for the antique shop owner who was really a great person! So the film was made by just the two of us!

We started filming at thursday noon and everything went really smoothly, we were on schedule until we realized that we forgot to recharge cameras batteries after last assignment. Well after we solved that problem we then shot a few chasing scenes at the city and then went to a forest which was our last location, but then it got too dark to film, so we decided to wake up early in the morning and go film the last shots before we go back to education centre. After getting the shots we got some breakfast from bakery nearby, got some stuff from the hostel and went to the bus stop. When we arrived at the education centre, we first met with the head of the camera team, that we will be joining next week. He was a really nice guy! After that we went to edit our material in the edit room.

I'm actually proud of how it turned out in the end. Actually our mentor didn't believe at first that we made it just with the two of us. Sounds are nothing to be a proud of though, but we would have needed a proper sound guy on our film to get the best sounds possible and more time at the edit room, but otherwise the film was very succesful in my opinion, but that's it for now. Sorry about the lack of blog updates, but we haven't had a lot to talk about, but when we start working with the camera crew, the updates will probably come almost daily. Anyways... enjoy the film!
