Workshop Experience:

Jake Wynn- a successful music video director came in on the 4th July to help us recreate the 'Busted- What i go to school for video (opening)'.

It was a really beneficial experience and here is a breakdown of what i have learnt:

Organiation is crucial:

• important for all group members to be enthusiastic and invoelved
• important for the actors to learn their lyrics in preparation
• have the location and props all set up and ready for action in advance of the shot- time scheduling
• it is important for all the group to have a direction. i.e. PLAN- STORYBOARDS- SHOT LIST- TEST SHOOT- BLOG- etc.

Editing:

• To create a performance bed whereby the performance is run through completely and from this other shots can be added. This is an efficient stlye of editing which i would like to experiemnt with.
• When editing the Busted re-make i have become more aware of editing effects.

General:

• from this experience and past experience i know it is importnat to have a leader who keeps the momentum of the project moving, overlooks group activities, keeps the group on track, and is decisive in decision making processes. i have been this leader once before and am looking forward to using my leadership skills in this project in order to drive the group forward.
