- We have viewed Delicatessen here on THE ART OF THE TITLE and Cherie HERE ON THE MEDIA DEPT YOUTUBE CHANNEL as examples of film openings using panning shots.
- We look at a couple of books about the Vietnam war to set the scene and discuss a possible treatment.
- In class we lay out the artefacts, costumes, lanterns, parasol, props, material and print work that we have collected on a long black cloth to create the world of the film.
- We use additional task lighting where needed.
- Each student uses the Canon D550 to take tracking shots along the set as well as some stills.
- Next double period, some live action is planned as well as the first edit.
