This challenge involved each group making a video with no sound whatsoever, after this was done each group swapped videos with another, and then recorded just sound, synced it with the video. The final product should resemble a completed, normal video. Easy, yeah?
Our group made a video about a man and his quest to become pool champion, except he turns out to not have an opponent. For this video I acted the only role.

The video we received from another group consisted of two people going to the library and looking for a perticular book, and eventually finding it. We had to record a little speech, 'atmos' and pages turning etc... My role was to basically hold the mic and press the odd button.

The 7 day project/The message
We had to write/script/storyboard/film/edit/everything else, a 3ish minute film with 'a message'. Luckily Mike O' Hare had an idea and a script, which made things easier. I took on the role of actor where I play a manager. The story involved a couple of people hiring a 'santa'. After interviewing 2 people, with little luck, they decide it's not even worth interviewing the third candidate, who turns out is the real santa/a real good impersonator with a cracking voice. The message could have been one of several, 'never judge a book by its cover' etc. The actual film turned out good but there were a few silly errors; mic in shot/white balance errors etc, but it was a good learning courve, will post the video in a new post.
Things that were done before the blog was made...
The 'work experience' is worth a mention, this involved filming a 'conference' in the art gallery. As much as the subject matter bored me to death, to acually be given, and ultimately deal with such a responsibility early one was an acheivement I guess. After initial nerves, everything ran smoothly and it was much easier than I had expected. Something for the CV too, bonus.
We also had the '24 hour project', which basically was an opportunity to showcase the little experience we had gained. Our group made 'Scottish Sterling' which was about a mans quest to get rid of a Scottish fiver, which is VERY difficult, both in the film, and in real life. The project went smoothly and the result was OK, though there's always room for improvement, was good to have something proper to show though. May upload this at a later date if I ever get round to putting it on a video site.
Aside from that it's all been just getting to grips with the basics, which is good.
