Project: Mini Movie Makers

Location: Lake Side Shopping Centre, Essex

Company: Messages PR

Dates: August 2009
Personal equipment supplied: Panasonic AG-HMC 151 AVCAM, Laptop with Final Cut Pro application
Daily Role:
•    To cast and shoot and screen 5-12 year old children in three short film productions per day, themed differently each week – over four weeks.
•    To edit, export for the web and upload to Lakeside website the three short films each day.

Videopia, born at the Notting Hill Arts Club, London, is a night of live music and dj’s with a video twist of famous/cult movie remakes.

The punters get cast into the film, issued a cut version of the script created for the night and with charming homemade props and costumes the film gets shot in the club. It is then screened via projection soon after shooting is complete.

Please follow the Videopia links opposite to view the movies I shot.

Experience gained includes:

• Equipment and Terminology used for Broadcasts.

- We used a variety of grip equipment and lenses. We used a range of shots that all had specific terminology.

• Techniques Used.

- We shot inside a car for which we had to rig interior mini cameras and exterior shots involved the rigging of a spider clamp to the bonnet of the car.  A poloriser lens was used here to reduce the glare of the windscreen.

• Project Management

- I discovered the importance of project management both in the filed and for post production purposes-time codes.

I have my own professional AVCAM – Panasonic AG-HMC 151 and have been using it for paid and unpaid video work.

Dream Job: Cameraman for nature, wildlife and adventure documentaries using filming techniques such as time-lapse photography and state of the art equipment.
