When we began to plan, we made a story board, scouted potential filming locations, and made a list of all the shots we need. This was vital for our development of our film, and allowed us to plan the emotional connection to film elements. The hardest part of this, for me, was to come up with an idea in the first place. The overabundance of ideas made it very difficult to make just one. The shot list allowed us to check off shots as we shot them.
The filming went smoothly, and we were able to film most of them easily, and in my room. Some of the shots were missing the emotional feel we wanted, so this was easily fixed by adding the blue filter in Premiere Pro. The largest obstacle however, was that my partner was out sick for the week, and in vital time, when we needed to film the remaining shots in school. Thankfully, he returned and we filmed them.
The portfolio project made me realize how crucial fast problem solving can be, and how planning is vital for success. Having a layout pre-made is very helpful, but being able to make choices to improve the introduction is important. This project opened my eyes to how much work film writers go through, and that they need to be appreciated more.
