This week was assessment time. The 'gaffer' pointed out things that I wasn't doing right. I was admittedly a bit annoyed, as I had been doing this brief for ages, and had already drawn story boards a few times the wrong. It was a bit frustrating, as I was throwing shit at the wall, just to see if any of it was going to stick. In addition to paperwork, the various digital attempts at moving this project are all documented in this blog (see college briefs navigation to the right, all under 'Observer'), as animatics, test shots and research.
I had a major headache after my assesment and didn't know what I was supposed to do. I did a bit of research and bothered my mate Olley, who pointed out it's worth learning film language stuff properly. I returned to college the next day in a very grumpy mood, and our group had a surprise lesson on story-boarding and film language. This was both very timely, and restored my faith in college. If only we had more lessons!
I have since done a little bit of research, and have a better idea, and have drawn up new thumbnail storyboards. I have taken the gaffer's comments on board, and realise he was right, even though it took a while to understand what he was getting at.
