During the session we were shown a 3rd year production - Dormire Bene - and also were shown The Making of Dormire Bene. This was interesting as it gave an insight into what extents the people involved go to create a finished production. The Making Of video also showed how many different roles there are within a single production, which I had not really thought about previously. It also showed how each role was important and not as easy as you would expect, especially with the sound technician role, where Heather Kelland had to crouch down into small corners in order to get the best sound quality possible. It also gave an insight into how each role, such as director and editor worked, both separate and individually.
The speaker also explained how the groups were given complete freedom to create whatever they wanted. In the above production, they travelled to France to shoot on location. It was also apparent how well they all got on, which seems important so that there is no conflicting ideas and so that they can settle on decisions which might not suit every single one of them.
The Media and Film Production course at Sheffield Hallam comes across as being high quality, with industry standard hardware and software.
