The workshop has really taught me to appreciate the team working around you. Without them, there would have been no way we could have achieved the end result. It also taught me the key to a successful shoot was communication; to be able to commment on and criticise the work allowed the team to make critical changes and to improve the shots. For everyone to participate in the shoot, a monitor was set up in the sports hall, where those who were not in shot or helping with the technology were allowed to sit and watch the set through the eyes of the camera, as the monitor was directly linked to it. Not only did it allow us students to offer advice, it also helped the director, Jake to step back and analyse the footage on set from the point of view of the camera.


Additionally, I also learnt that what we might see on camera might not necessarily look the same as it does in person. When setting up the library in the sports hall, I admit I found it hard to visualise the set as being a library. However, actually seeing the library set-up on the camera showed me the transformation of the set looking like there were a bunch of props in the sports hall to an actual library. Therefore, this taught me to see "through the eye of the camera".
