Some of my thoughts...
On the role of Director
Throughout the project when I was director I often worried that I was being 'bossy' and ordering people around, I voiced this to my team mates and Moritz told me that I say what I want in such a way that it doesn't sound rude, I listen to everyone's opinions and take them into account if I didn't agree with something someone said I would give them valid reasons why it wouldn't work like:
At first I didn't think I would like being the director, especially because I can be shy around people I don't know but because I had written out the shooting script and I was gradually getting to know my team I began to feel comfortable and confident in the role, by the second day of filming I was actually enjoying it, I felt I was making a good impact on the filming and keeping the guys in check.
- Continuity between shots
- The 180 degree rule
- Varied shots (not using mid shot too often) keeps the film interesting
- Having too much headroom (because sometimes it's better to cut off some of the head than have too much room above it)
- Unnecessary objects in the background that can draw the viewers eye away from the main focal point
