1 - Our first workshop consisted with a few things to get us introduced to documentary. We had a group discussion and I learnt a couple of new things that I didn't know before, for example how versatile it can be. We then all watch past students short documentaries and it really helped me to understand the high standard I had to achieve in the near future.
- Camera angles in all types of film making are important. They can convey a certain meaning or give a particular type of feel to what you're watching. This is why it was one of the first things we looked into and analysed.
- After this we were put into groups for our projects. It was our turn to do the reading for the following week so we all made sure we knew which one it was and how we were going to discuss it in class.
- Brief for the one-minute film exercise: Choose from one of the following themes: 1) ‘My first day at Sussex’, 2) ‘The pitfalls of independent living’.
We chose to do the pitfalls of independent living as you have a lot to talk about and can get a lot of b-roll for this subject.
