week 1 - The 1st lession

After the 1st year's practicum classes there we go again with an interresting and trying module and task. That is to produce real videos and not 'birth day party' shoots as uncle G. would do:)
To turn it serious I never did any film shooting in my life before, just acting for some seconds in a school-campaign video so this whole field is about to take new discoveries and progress for me, for sure.
At first when I took the camera into my hand in the video-production class I felt that it is easy to use and fits well into my hand. I filmed moving the lens over the grass as if it was a nature film and felt that something is catching my attention, the way that you can make something real that is from this world and that you can transfer it just as by a photomachine into something detached from it. That's pretty catchy...;)
On the other hand the thing that is going to be the hottest point is probably the background work via we get the film out of the 'raw' material, from the pre-production to the post producing tasks. I consider it the more tedious part of the job, but in the end I'd like to be sure that it was worth doin' it.
