SPP LECTURE 1 23/10/06

14.00-15.00 Yesterday we had a lecture on the process of multimedia. We were shown a project cycle and the production crew needed to manage a multimedia task. We were also shown the comparison of multimedia origins and the three key areas of multimedia - schedule, budget and resources. These areas breakdown into a pyramid of time, cost and quality which have to be balanced carefully.

16.00-18.00 We had to shot a 45 sec film (no longer) on one of the follow subjects:
1. lose something deliberately
2. victory small importantly gained
3. temporary manage to take the pain away
4. find an ally.

We chose subject 1. and had to include the following camera shots:
2 close ups
2 MCU
1 wide shot
1 POV

We did a 35 second narrative of a person dropping litter and a bypasser making this person put the litter in the bin. I think that it worked really well because it was simple and straight forward.
