Week+7

**Week 7**

//Filming begins//

Gregg reminded us all about the story - the meaning behind this whole process.

Throughout the filming process each class will be separated into groups, so there will be 5 filming stations happening at once. Each station will be incharge of filming a particular shot eg. the painting of the cardboard houses (remembering each shot has many frames / parts within it)

Each group needs to have defined roles for each person (this will allow for effective working within the small space of each filming station and to try to keep each group on track)

The roles are:

Camera operator - person in charge or pressing enter to take the shot and space to view previous shot

Animator - person to move character / objects in scene and say 'shot'

Director - person to decide what is going to be animated

Frame counter - mark off number of shots taken

Shot preparation - prepare things for next shot

Once the groups were organised and roles assigned filming began. With a fair amount of assistance and guidance from Gregg and the teachers each group got through at least one shot in the session, some two! It is not a fast process but certainly rewarding seeing the results after the first shots were complete.
