We loved this camera induction. It´s always fun to get to play around with new cameras. We learnt how to set them up, get them on the tripod, add all the screens and film. These inductions are particularly important and fun to Laura and I, as we are the camera operators. We can´t wait to actually get to film our story.

Canon EOS C300

GH4 & the Shootools slider

We practised using the focus pull

I took photos of all the cables on the C300 so we could do it ourselves next time.

I think this made all of us even more excited for our studio shoot. Getting to physically do something at uni was also a great change. 

We´re are not sure yet which camera´s will be best for our shoot. We have decided, I think, that we should have a bigger one and a smaller one. The smaller for handheld shots and possibly the box scene (where our character opens the box and we see it from inside) and the big one for the rest. So probably we will want the GH4 and either the C300 or the FS7.

When it comes to the storyboard, the story was again modified and we now have a new shot list. I haven´t done much for that yet. At some point we were afraid that we would not have a window, but that problem is now dealt with. The set design is now agreed upon between all of us, our group, green group and Rosie. I hope this means the storyline won´t be changing at all anymore. I was a bit annoyed that my old storyboard won´t be used as I put so much work into it. The next one will have to more detailed, shot by shot, showing all camera movements. It also has to be numbered, so hopefully I dont miss any scenes out. I will be doing it based on the new shot list Kaitlan sent me before the holidays. I have been quite busy, but now with the essay done I will have time to focus on it, along with the maps and networks projects.
