LIGHTING WORKSHOP

 The above pictures aren't the greatest quality, but show some of the techniques that were demonstrated to us during the second part of the lighting workshop. Below is a list of 10 important rules that we noted during the workshop, and some further notes that I took throughout.

1. NEVER mount lights outdoors without constant manning.
2. ALWAYS switch lights off when not in use.
3. ALWAYS make sure light is parallel with one of the stand's legs.
4. ALWAYS use gloves.
5. NEVER look directly at lights
6. ALWAYS shout a warning before turning on the lights.
7. ALWAYS work with lights at a low level, before raising them up if necessary.
8. ALWAYS use the surge protector.
9. NEVER try and replace a bulb.
10. ALWAYS include lighting in risk assessments. 

FILM NOIR - Production Log

I am working with Harry Ellerd-Cheers. Last lesson, after completing our script, we read our scripts to the class as so we could recieve feedback on it. We did not need to make any drastic changes to our first draft according to the feedback from the class. Mr Sheppard suggested that the script may be too long, but as the script is only one and a half pages long, we are reluctant to reduce the script by much more. We may reduce some dialogue if we think it may go over the two minute limit, or try and keep the title sequence shorter, but as it is I think we're going to keep the script pretty much the same for the second draft, just with a few dialogue changes.
