On the 14th of November we began shooting the scenes of the video at Zamárdi, by the lake Balaton. We had problems with the weather - again. We were waiting for the sun to come out behind the clouds and we even caught some beautiful, colourful videos but after a while we had to give up waiting for a better weather. We should somehow find a solution to make the colour, saturation of the videos look similar and I hope we can do manage to do it.
The actors were performing really well but I am not sure whether it is ok if we have only a monologue instead of conversations.

9th class
During our 9th class we had a chance to work on our projects on our outside the school. I am in a group together with Dávid Németh, and he came up with a really good idea for our video and began working out the script for it too.
The basic idea was that a man looses his belowed wife and unfortunately by the time he falls in love again he is dying from a poision (he decided to take for ending his own life and the suffering). I've been thinking about how the video would look like if the man had the characteristics of the "Godfather" or any kind of maffia guy. It could have look pretty cool, however I realized soon that it would not be easy to carry out. The main character was played by Dávid's younger brother and if it would be a maffia type guy, than he should have been definitely older.
Anyway we planned that we are going to shoot the video as soon as possible to have enough time for the cutting. Unfortunately the weather on the 8th of November was not good for the video and we had to postpone the shooting.

10th class
During our 10th class we discussed several terms which are important if we want to understand the functioning of the video production's basics.
I have better understood scripts and synopsis as well as outlines and storyboards, the possible camera moves. However the most useful lesson for me was to see what a difference lights can mean in case of a video. Through the use light coming from different angles we can influence the message of movies, let it be a high school movie, a horror/thriller movie or e.g. a film noir.
By using the lights ourselves we have collected some amount of experience how light can even change someone's appearance, make him/her look scary or even more pretty.
