In the first week of our second year on the course we were given a week to produce a video. I wanted to stick to the theme of independance that is running for the mini masterpieces contest.
Loosely based on a true story, this drama piece followed Chris Johnson at university, he just wants to be alone but this is made increasingly difficult by Ved (played by himself, me) and Will.
I was pleased with the filming process, it was a lot of fun and everyone worked really hard. I was pleased with Reubens camera work also, especially the opening shot.
The finished film suffers slightly because it starts off following Chris, however half way through the camera starts to follow me which is a confusing way of telling the story, the style of the piece also changes when we start to follow Chris and myself using the camera handheld which gave it more of a documentary feel when it was originally meant to be a drama. I'm glad I've learnt from this as it's the first time in the course I've done a drama video and that is the area I'm most interested in working in.

Good nice to see this here and your collectively crazy story of the undead below!
As well as all the craft stuff we have discussed watch out for consistency and motives in your work. You need to be able to justify every shot and every edit, and there needs to be an internal consistency to the work. Otherwise you can unintentionally confuse your audience.
