A brief show this week, describing the many different aspects offilming two scenes. The learning this time around is all hands on. Theentire class is working together to shoot two scenes from a script.We've each taken on at least one role, in some cases two. My primaryconcern is creating the lighting with a secondary responsibility forsound.

Once we determined our roles, we broke into two groups. The technicalpeople: cinematographer, sound and lighting worked together while theproducer and director spent their time setting the location, set designand casting.

The cinematographer or director of photography took the lead bycreating a shot list or storyboard which came from conversations withthe director. Once that was done, sound and light could be configured.

We stumbled a few times, lost some momentum because we didn't reallyknow our jobs well (that's where the learning came in), but we regainedour footing and finished the week with some preliminary storyboards, alook at one of the locations and our first casting call.
