I enjoyed filming on Friday. One of the main things that I liked about it was that I felt like I helped Ashley and Ilana learn film techniques, strategies, and...forms. Ashley seems really interested in film so I was hoping that she got a lot out of the experience of watching me direct and film and of acting in the commercial herself.
The experience was really good for me too. I haven't gotten to film in a while so it was refreshing. When I film, I usually film each shot from a bunch of different angles and when editing, i choose from the dozens of shots. It has been effective for me in the past, although it's very time consuming. But I probably could have avoided this by making a storyboard.

ReplyDeleteYa think?
Actually, many angles for coverage isn't a bad idea, but... decisiveness is something too.
I am very into film! Which is new, because i wasn't before STAC (:
ReplyDeleteI should take a bunch of shots of one scene, because it gives you a bigger variety and it avoids missing a scene, which has happened to me, and i watched it happen to someone else. It was very educational, in the weirdest way :)
