Filming for Friends A2 Media Chidrens Tv Opening

One of my friends had a dilemma for his media piece. He had written a script for the opening of a children’s TV series. But due to himself playing the main character he couldn’t film it all cause he was acting. So he came to me with a shot list, storyboard and overall Idea what he wanted shooting. This was very different for me as I am used to shooting what I wanted to shoot so was very different going into a shoot and being told by others what they wanted. So in effect I was only a camera man following the shot list outlined by the director which in this case was my friend. It made me learn how to be told what to do and also just add some creative little twists that I thought might build on the great shot ideas that he already had. He was very organised with what day and time we would be filming and also how long it would last for. Everybody that was in it had a copy of the shot list, story board and script so my time wasn’t being wasted having to go over shots where people didn’t know what they were doing or had forgotten lines.
