Initially our group was left with what felt like a bit of a difficult situation, in that a few of us from Lee's seminar group had started thinking about concepts for the drama film with members from other tutor's seminar groups when the brief was first made available to us on Blackboard and we had not yet had any seminars on the project so had not been made aware of the fact we were unable to work with people we had previously been in groups together with. We completely understand the reasons behind this and agree with it being done, however it did mean that unfortunately we had to leave one of our concepts undeveloped and split into two groups to develop new ideas, which was a bit of a shame as we did not want to have to leave an idea behind that we would have liked to develop further.
Oliver and I had previously worked together on the Documentary brief, however after discussing with the tutors our concerns with this and reason behind wanting to work together being that we already have a clear outlined concept to work upon, we made the decision to stay together in this group but find different people to work with us. Luckily, we managed to find another partially formed group to join, and our Drama project now consists of:
Anna Louise Bailey (Producer)
Oliver Guy (Director)
Rose Ryk (Camera Operator)
Sarah Cooper (Visual Editor)
Hannah Grencis (Sound Recordist)
Adam Young (Sound Editor)
Personal job role
Sound is an aspect to filmmaking that before starting university, I had come across very briefly but not realised the amount of creative possibilities that it can bring to a film. I have found an interest in how sound can be used to add effect and be experimented with to create meaning within a production and have noticed that I have picked up on how sound use and design is used effectively more than I previously would have done when I watch films now. Because of this, I am looking forward to experimenting with sound recording within our drama film, and feel that a lot can be achieved with our idea, as there is no dialogue in our film so parts of it will be relying on experimenting with ways to use sound to our advantage creatively. Personally, I don't yet feel too comfortable on the technical side to sound recording, although I do know the basics and I plan to book out equipment over the next week to get familiarised with this. I did not want this to put me off having a go at being sound recordist, as it's something which I'd like to explore in more depth, so although I feel like it will be a challenge technically, I am beginning to plan creative ways to use sound to our advantage on this short five minute film.
