Because the shoot will be set up like a professional shoot I would like to gain technical experience. I am looking forward to shadowing both Jake the Cinematographer and the lighting director on the day. Hopefully I will gain a more advanced knowledge of the Canon 5D MK II and learn how the lighting desk in the studio works. Gaining an insight into what it's like to be a screen performer is also something I want to get out of the prelim because it will help me in my own music video when directing other performers.
Is it a challenge for you or within your comfort zone?
I have had experience performing on stage and in front of a camera so that aspect of the prelim is in my comfort zone. However, I haven't performed in front of a camera on this kind of scale on a professional shoot so that will be out of my comfort zone.
Have you achieved/learnt anything so far?
The performance workshop we did on Wednesday taught us various techniques for performing in front of a camera. We learnt how to lip sync and. the importance of over pronouncing words because it looks better on camera; How moving your eye line can add so much to a character; and that movement and attitude is key to developing a character. As demonstrated in the clip below:
