Lvl 6 - FMP: Introduction

For our final major projects we are first in need of pitching our roles to the group whether it be a script or an actual position. I put myself forward as an editor which is found on my Pitch presentation for my FMP on the VLE. However I did not think that this role was right for me due to my lack of experience. So at the end I decided to make it clear that I am ready for any position that opens and presents itself.

Four films have to be picked and i will need to be present on two of them. The films that were chosen were:

• My Name Is John (Mockumentary)
• Echoes Of Silence (Short Film)
• Trick Of The Dark (Short Film)
• Afterlife (Short Film)

I myself was chosen to be Sound Operator on Jack's film "Trick Of The Dark" & Camera Operator 2 for Janice's film "Afterlife". I was happy with my chosen roles i have experience with both roles and have been told that my sound work on Inheritance was to a good standard. As soon as i have access to Jacks script I will start to layout my Foley list & mark what needs to be completed for the coming weeks. As soon as I have access to the story boards from Janice I will also put my use of time into practicing the coming shots with several test shoots that will be established at a later date. Primary research is key to gain a greater understanding of my role & try and push for a better grade in my final outcome. I will be seeking knowledge from Shaun for sound & Liam for Cinematography as it will be helpful for the production process. I look forward to starting each of the productions and will continue to upload content of this module until completion.
