The pre-production phase of this project was spent in the Library, carrying out background reading on the subject of filming. Two books which were examined was 'how to read a film' (Monaco, J, 1977) and 'Digital Filmaking, The Changing Art and Craft of Making Motion Pictures' by Thomas A. Ohanian and Michael E. Phillips. Despite their tendancies to lean towards larger scale filming, its basic descriptions of the three major categories constructive. The main fundamentals which conclusively came from reading this was:
Preproduction:
The script is written,(including storyboard),
Planning schedules ,
the location
Production (shooting):
composition
angles
close ups/wide shot etc.
post-production:
editing,
mixing and looping (of the soundtrack, which Monaco points out, this can be easily repaired by overdubbing
possibily music scoring
special effects
saving/ formating to disc.

Filming Project
This blog will be used to keep a journal of my film-making process. The brief for this project was:
'Over the past few weeks you have developed your skills in the art of non-linear video editing using Avid Cinema and Adobe Premiere. Your task for this assignment is to plan and execute a short film sequence that will demonstrate you skills in this area. Attached to this sheet is a suggested storyboard template. You may use this to plan your sequence or produce a storyboard of your own. You must submit a storyboard for this piece of work.'
This blog will aid in my self-reflective analysis of how well I performed throughout.
My initial idea for what we could film was based around the area of snooker. I felt this subject could be very interesting, incoporating many different angle-shots, close-ups/establishing shots, and would be seen to be unique. Once we had a snooker hall's permission to film there, I carried out some of my own independant research into the area of film.
