4.4 - PLTS Indipendent enquiers
I wanted to find out how filming was developed and how it started. I also wanted to know what skills and qualifications you need to become a production assistant. Some questins I wanted to konw were:
Trevor Jarvis:
- How did you get in to animation?
- What is the history of animation?
Lokmen Chekki:
- What is the hardest part of your job?
- What important experience have you had when getting in to this industry?
- What is you role in the creative and media industry?
- How does the work you do vary?
6) Support conclusions, using reasoned arguments and evidence
I found out the answers by asking Lokmen Chekki who works for the BBC as a production assistant and Yoshito Darman who works as a cameraman.
4.4 - Planning steps that I took
In the planning stage of this unit I helped out on making the storyboard and the risk assessment for the location in the school by the back gates where we used it for the fight and walking away scenes. At the first we all made our own storyboards but then we decided to change it and then we all created one together as the first one was the draft storyboard. Also I think that the risk assessment that I completed for the group was done well because I talked about all the different risks to take in consideration.
4.4 - Evaluation of research (4.1)
