I had a quick look on YouTube and found the video I worked on with Stephen Mullan at Queens University Belfast Video Services. I worked there on a temporary casual basis. The job was mainly to assist Stephen in setting up for the shoot ie. setting up the lights, the camera (Canon 5D, if memory serves), the tripod and the portable crane. I also kept a record of ISO and shutter speed changes to keep the footage consistent. I also took on the position of clapper-loader, as you can see at the start of the clip.

Closing in on the end of term

As we approach Christmas, the frequency of deadlines has increased slightly so there has been slightly more pressure on the class. Everyone seems to be handling it pretty well. Personally, this week I have to crank out a second draft for Scriptwriting and prepare a short, persuasive presentation for Film Studies on the topic and genre of Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery. I'll also continue adding to my Interview Skills portfolio, to keep on top of it.

I have ordered a new camera on which to create external work, internal work and for general practice. The consensus is that to produce the best work, it is essential to practice as much as possible.

I asked around and did some research myself, and this seems to be the best and best value entry level, video supporting, DSLR (slt). It'll certainly give me footage of a usable quality. I'll post links to much if not all of the work I produce using it here as and when I complete it.
