Week 2

Hi Everyone,

After an introduction to this course last week, on Tuesday we begin the serious business of movie making.

In preparation for our film shoot of the movie "THE BRIDGE" in week 3, we'll discuss filming techniques, with other words the Do's and Dont's of filming. We'll talk about capturing the footage  which we'll edit into our movie in week 4.

When we'll go 'on set' for our shoot, you'll be able to work in groups if you like, or by yourself, it doesn't matter. At the end of the shoot, I'll be collecting the footage of everyone. We'll be working on a script which I'll hand out on Tuesday.

SEE YOU TUESDAY

Week 1

Hi Everyone and welcome to the first Logan District U3A Movie Making Class of Term 1.

The class notes are available in a booklet. I was considering to have them printed and bound, but the costs involved were a little high and as we try to provide classes free here in the Logan District, I have decided to give you the booklet so that those of you who want to print it out can do so, or you can just read the notes on your computer.

LESSON NOTES

So, if you would like the lesson notes, please bring along a memory stick to the first meeting and I'll copy them for you.

In Lesson 1 on Tuesday, we'll talk about this 5 week course and how it is structured.

We'll cover the types of cameras which can be used to capture video, the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of cameras.

We'll look at the type of media used by these cameras and the amount of data which they can store.

We look at accessories recommended to enhance the quality video productions.

I look forward to meet you all on Tuesday 27 January at 11.00 AM at the Logan North Library at Springwood (Sports Drive).
