Prelim Evaluation - Question 1

In mondays workshop I learnt lots of about behind the scenes of a film set such as how to connect up pieces of equipment like the lights and the camera to the monitor. I learnt how the camera and lighting crew work by constantly tweaking and adapting to get the desired affect (heavily influenced by the director). It was also interesting to see how each of the crew members work as a team in order to function efficently and get the best footage. I discovered that proffessionally, your work alot faster than we have done in previous shoots because with that much equipment and people you need to stick to you scheduale. Similarly, you need to be more descisive whilst making sure you have everything you need. It was interesting to see the cheats and make-shift products in filming such as a wheelchair with a board and tripod taped onto it.
