University lectures are repeated weekly, but not all classes start at the same time. Due to the circumstances of the school or the teacher, some of them end in April and some begin at that time.
When we freshmen were finally getting used to college life, the only compulsory class which hadn’t been started yet began.
“Alright, so everyone has gathered now.”
Kanou-sensei stood in front of the teacher’s desk and looked at the students while grinning,
“Now, finally, this will be your first real battlefield, the class Comprehensive Practical Training 1.”
She said in a fairly far-reaching voice.
“…… I wonder what kind of lesson it is.”
Nanako murmured in a half anxious state.
“Well, she called it practice, so I’m sure we’ll have to make something.”
Tsurayuki didn’t seem to be particularly concerned, as he was just cracking his neck and preparing himself.
“That professor, doesn’t she have big breasts~, I wonder if she has stiff shoulders.”
Where the hell are you looking, Shinoaki?
“Does Nanako have stiff shoulders?”
“Hey, Shinoaki, what the hell are you asking out of the blue?!”
…… Shinoaki, I’m a little glad to hear that question just now.
“Kanou-sensei… huh.”
And within the four of us, I was the most anxious.
Afterall, this sensei was the one who destroyed our dreams and ideals the moment we enrolled.
Even in today’s practice, I didn’t know what she would say all of a sudden.
(…… Even so, I can’t just cower like a chicken!)
I hit myself lightly on the cheek to get fire myself up. There’s also the person who taught us that it wasn’t easy to obtain anything, and I think I was looking forward to it.
“This class called, Comprehensive Practical Training 1, is conducted in order to help you understand the most important points in the production of movies and videos.”
The sensei wrote, ‘Direction, ‘Technology’, ‘Performance’, and ‘Production’ on the blackboard.
“There are various opinions, but these are the ‘Four major sections necessary for video production’ that I consider. Well then, I will explain each one individually.”
This time, she used red chalk to circle the Direction part.
“First of all, Direction. This is the section that oversees the production. Which, I am sure you know. They are responsible for the overall work, and bears the brunt of it in all aspects. The praises and criticism are all concentrated here. And the role of the scriptwriter and assistant director are also included in this.”
“Next, Technology. This is the part that is responsible for the technical aspects necessary for films, such as shooting, lighting, sound, and so on. A lack in any of these will greatly affect the work, so the guys who are always sleeping in class will be in deep trouble later.”
“And then Performance. The actors. From casting to acting, the expression and voice displayed on the screen, the sense of time…… The technique part also goes without saying, but they have to delve deep into the inner surface of human beings, making this quite a tricky part. Of course, the joy when one finally gets it down right is that much exceptional.”
And then.
The professor cut off her words, and drew a circle on the last ‘Production’ part.
“This is the most unfamiliar part for you guys. Production related this clothing… producing, progress, and so on section. It is also called……”
Under the word ‘Production’, the professor wrote ‘cleaning up after another’.
“This part, at any rate, comes with lots of troubles. You make preparations for shooting, and after scheduling with the actors, they don’t show up, or the staff doesn’t show up. And after finally showing up, fights break out, when you think that they’ve finally reconciled, it turns out that they’re now hooked and in love with each other, they break up and quarrel with each other, they’ll say that they’re not in good form and won’t perform well, and when you barely get the shooting started, you want to shoot a sunny scene, that’s when the clouds gather, and then rain starts pouring…… Well, for a short introduction, it’s something like that.”
From among students, voices going “Uwaa” could be heard.
Indeed, even when I was making an eroge, the production was hard, and I often heard that anime production was very difficult. 1
“At first, I have explained the 4 sections and in this class Comprehensive Training 1, you will make a team comprising of 4 people, each one will be in charge of one of these sections.”
The classroom buzzed all at once.
“Each team will have to make a 3 minute video, using the period of time from now till the summer vacation. That is the compulsory assignment for this class.”
This time, the buzzing changed to commotion.
(Eh, Is she asking us to make a work all of a sudden……? )
Even though we’ve barely learned anything on the technical side.
“You can join together with friends, or you can leave the selection to me. 15 minutes later, after you’ve created a team, send a representative to come and report to me. Now then, breakup temporarily!”
