experience in set as a crew.

Being in crew not only helping me to gain experience but also helping me to learn what to do and what not to do.

its always good to have a pre production so it makes the job easy and stress free on the day of shooting for every one. The first AD can follow the schedule if it is done well and it makes the shot more smooth.

reshersaling with actors before the shot. Give more freedom to,  set the shot and its easy for the actor also to gel in to there character.

Always to remember the basic of cinematography ..;specially the little things. Like white balance , shutter angle , frame rate and balancing the tripod.

lighting ....How everybody approach with there lighting plan and what makes certain shot looks good.

What kind of lens people are using and how effect they r trying to achieve.

Action shoot

last week our group did a action sequence.

step 1 = pre planing
we did the planing of the story and some rough storyboard.

step 2 = casting
 casting is always a important part and we search the actors who were capable of performing some action sequence as it also involve some hand to hand combat. It was a gang scence so definitely they have to look like gangster.

step 3- look of the film
 I decided to do a 90's style fight sequence. So the wardrobe was according to that. with some brown leather jackets and long courts.

step 4- location

for location, I decided to have a quite parking place. As it was surrounded with bricks and it was giving good look for the film. The walls have graffiti so it suited the mood also.



step 5- the techniques used.
Shot in 60 p. with a shutter speed of 1000 plus with 100 ISO for smooth slo-mo 



step 5- editing

I did some dark grading with high contrast to get that grinning feeling and look and did some after effect for mussel flash and blood splatter.



                 








Step 6- Sound and music
 Sound and music give  meaning and truth to the effect. That why I laid some music and sound effect on the sequence.
