What I did in moviemaking school today.

If you don't already know this, I do go to a moviemaking school once a week. It's every Thursday, and since I'm very interested in that subject, I find that school to be fun. I am learning with my teacher, and one another guy. So in total we're three. (Yeah, there aren't many in class, but that's ok.)

It's actually called a short film school.

Before I talk about what I did today, I'm gonna tell you what I did last week. (which was the first time in this moviemaking school) There is a reason why I didn't make an article about it last week, because we were just thinking about movie genres, we didn't do anything else. Here is a copy of the document from last week:
(Translated from Icelandic of course
"

Crime movie

Documentary movie

Romantic movie

Fantasy movie

Legend and adventure
"

Today we thought about what the movie was gonna be about, did some training with the camera and of course thought of the first few scenes. First off, let's look at the first document we made today. This is copied directly from that document:

(Of course the original language is Icelandic, but this is translated.)
"

Crime story - storyline.

Crime:
· Bank robbery
· Stealing from a mus

Criminal:
· A group of teenagers
· Dark wizard

„The Good Guy“:
· Cop
· Ordinary man

What helps the good guy:
· Help from the police

· Help from a wizard

End:
· The criminal is arrested, case closed.

"

Again, I'm gonna remind you that this is the translated version of the document, the original version was in Icelandic. Of course we had other ideas, such as the criminal being a gangster (but that's too cliche), or the hero being a superhero. An alternative ending was that the criminal wins.

After that we were training on using the camera. I need to learn to hold the camera still while recording, and I will probably learn that in this moviemaking school. After that I took a short break, and I went to a bakery and got myself something to eat.

Besides thinking about what the movie was gonna be about, we also worked on the first few scenes, and here is a copy from another document, translated from Icelandic of course:
"

Plot |Recording place and props |Recording

The dark wizard steals a diamond ring.	A museum in Reykjavík. Check if you have to pay. Diamond ring.	Zoom into the . Move the camera while the dark wizard is leaving the museum.
The ordinary guy reads in the newspaper that a diamond ring has been stolen.	At his home. Newspaper.	Hold the camera still. Zoom in.
Go to the museum and ask what's going on.	Museum in Reykjavík. Somebody who works at the museum.	Hold the camera still

"

And I did all the translating myself, (I did use Google Translate a little bit, but I only did it when I didn't know the English word, but that's just 2 times, I translated the rest myself) so yeah. That's all I did for that day. I will be more than happy to share with you what I will be doing next week, so look out for that.

Thank you for reading and have a great day.
