Video Week 3

During this week we were learning about the three stages of video production process -- Preproduction, Production, Post-production. The Preproduction stage is writing the proposal, the storyboard and the script. Also actors should be chosen. Production stage is actual shooting. Post-production is a final stage which is editing. 

I think that preproduction stage is actually the most important one. During the preproduction all the major decisions are taken. Without it video can not come to birth.

We also had some practice in  preproduction. Our task was to create a small coffee commercial in typical Russian stile, with 4 animals. Although coffee is not a kind of Russian drink and I (as a typical Russian person) had no idea how to represent a typical Russian style, it was great fun, and great experience! :-)

Video Week 2

This week we had our first class of Video Production. We started with the theory: importance of writing a clear story board, different people who are involved in video production, and other major facts.

I'm a little afraid of this class, because I have never held a video camera in my arms before. But I think that it will be a good experience for me. I'm really glad that I have such an opportunity to learn about video production - one of the major parts of the art world.
