The Message- Filming and Production

One of our tasks so far was to create a short 2-3 minute video called "The Message", the film could be about anything we wanted as long as it carried or gave out a message. We continued to work in our production skills groups and brain stormed a few ideas that may be good for this project, we came up with a few ideas but eventually settled on our main message been "Don't forget to carry the one" and it focusing on a scientist/doctor trying everything to find the meaning of life and in the end forgetting to carry the one. Once we had our idea, we developed it into a script and gathered all the necessary props and clothing needed for the shot and then we started filming.

We filmed "The Message" in Jacob and Daniels front room as they were both in my group and thought it would be best to film here with the amount of space we can use, for our production we took out a Panasonic camera, two redheads, sound equipment and a tripod dolly. We took about 20-30 minutes to set up all the equipment and the scene with props and then began filming the scenes, we all took on roles and offered advice and contributed evenly to the production. Overall it was roughly a 2 hour shoot because we were using some new equipment and we wanted to experiment and see what was possible with it, it was a success in the end as we captured all we needed and kept it too a good quality and all enjoyed working on the shoot. The final step now is to enter post-production and edit the pieces together to see our final work, because it's quite short it shouldn't take too much time or energy to complete it and we hope to have it done within the coming weeks.
