Practical skills

So far I have had two practical workshops.
Due to me missing out on the first two weeks, i am still on the catch up so i am yet to have a photoshop workshop. Luckly enough i arrived just in time to have a tough yet exciting workshop on how to use the standard filming camera ( the pd170).
This was very interesting for a few reasons. the first was because it is what i will be using for the next couple of years. The second is because this is what the jackass crew used to film jackass.
Just yeaterday i had my first experience of trying to make a clip of film using the pd170. During this time i discovered how much time really goes into making a piece of film, and how much work was going to be requiered of me over the next two years. We only made a simple piece of film which lasted around 20 seconds but even this took us around 30 minuted to get all the shots perfect. The scene included a man entering the room, wiping his forehead and then moving out of the room. In order to get this right we had to have 100% concentration.
