Post Production

Intriguing Possibilities

Here are some of the things I've learnt  and gained from this experience:

• About the mise-en-scene and how everything within determines the literal and subtle meanings the audience receives.

• Different compositions and shot types. How a variety helps to tell the story and keeps the audience interested.

• About rules in filming like the 180 degree rule and how when they are broken it can distort the perception of the viewer and the affect the overall film in a negative way

• Directing - involving proactiv listening, a technical mind and taking initiative with a pre-determined goal (not sure how understandable the phrase above is, it made sense in my head)

• How important organising is but also how no matter how much you try to organise there will always be something you miss. I tried to keep the team on track but it was hard battling with the issues outside the module/university.

• Teamwork - helping everyone achieve their potential in the parts they play; giving advice, encouragement and inspiration but also receiving these things from my team mates.

• Making decisions can be hard; we cut out a lot and had to be harsh but even without the unwanted blank screens taking up unwanted seconds the film was still too long and as a team we couldn't decide what to take out so after much debate on Facebook we decided to keep it that little bit longer hoping it wouldn't hurt us too much.
