Back to Uni

Today was our first day back at uni after the very long summer and I was ready to see what this semester had in store for us. We were first introduced to the 3 units we are going to be studying and found out what work is involved.

The 3 units are:
Direction
Commission
Narrative and Genre

We found out that for Narrative and Genre we are going to need to write an essay and for Commission we will get the chance to make our own documentaries. We're going to learn more about these 2 topics next week but for today we focused on Direction.

We will be learning about working with a crew and how to direct them, lighting, single camera direction, performance and mise-en-scene. For the coursework part of the unit we will each have to choose 3 minutes from an existing drama and adapt this into our own style by changing the script slightly and shooting the scene in our own way. We will then put these on Youtube to create a series and as a group we will have to come up with a title sequence to go at the beginning of each episode.
