Category: Group Meetings & Tutorials

Just a catch up with our tutor David. We discussed what was happening with the film. He then told us that he has organised a masterclass with Jack Shelbourne about the relationship between a camera man and the sound team. So we signed up for that as it would be beneficial to attend. Not just for ‘Cognition’ but for future projects and post graduation as this is an area of work I want to do in.

We each then told him where we were with research and then the session came to a close. Not much to report, but these sessions are important as they keep us on track.

It was our last meeting for this project and it was all about how to get the best marks on our blogs. David told us how to structure our blog, what to include and how to pick up marks. It was great as at this point we had finished the film and was cracking on with our blogs. It was nice to see David before breaking off for Christmas and I thanked him for all the useful tips and tricks he gave us along the way of this process. It was a great reflective tutorial.

Just a short meeting. We were in the process of post-production and David wanted to know where we were. We told him about the technical difficulties that we had been having and he noted them and was going to see what he or any other members of staff could do. He told us just to keep trooping on and I left feeling better about the project knowing that he was aware of the issues we were having.

This session was to discuss our plan before we started the location sound for ‘Cognition’ on the 14th of November. We told him about the sudden change of location for our film and our concerns. The concerns being that we felt it was to noisy with traffic and that it could potentially risk the dialogue. David took our concerns on board and then told us that we’d have to make the best of it as at the end of the day, it was the directors decision.

This left me feeling confident and excited for the challenge ahead.

Hannah went through our research and said how happy and impressed she was with our work. It answered all the questions and queries she had about the location sound and post-production sound process she had.

Established our shooting dates which will be the 16th-18th of November.

We have a new location which will be in Hannah’s spare bedroom which will give us the time we need to dress the set properly and dampen the room to make it as quiet as possible. We will be going to record a wild track on the 28th of October to check out what the limitations might be and to see what interior and exterior noises may be an issue when it comes to shooting our film.

A short meeting just to check everyone is on the right track and we’re heading in the right direction.
