Along with script writing, I planned out the shot list and camera movements. My responsibilites was to put my knowledge of camera angles and skills to best convey our story. I had planned out different camera set ups in our film locations prior to film days. Below are location scout images taken before film days. My team and I visited the locations to plan the various shots that we wanted for the film.
Production
During the filming, I took on the role of a director and director of photograpy. Stepping up to take on these roles, allowed me to become a lead in my project, guiding my members through the process.
Post-Production
Using Adobe Premiere Pro and Audacity, I edited the film together smoothing the transistions of each cut together. At the final film screening, our film, Finding You, was nominated for Best Editing and Best Story.
Reflection
As my first narrative short film, I learnt a lot about film production and team cooperation. It takes a lot of planning and understanding of the equipments to produce a well executed film. The biggest takeaway from this experience is the pre-production planning. A well-structured timeline of your project can lessen the stress on production and post-production.
