MY PERSONAL EVALUATION OF MY ROLE IN THE PRODUCTION OF OUR FILM TRAILER

During the production stages of producing our film trailer, I particularly took the role of
directing the production. This involved a lot of initial planning, I sat down early before any
of the actors arrived and wrote a list of rough shots we definitely needed.
Below is an image of a snapshot of what the plan looked like. After I wrote down all the
possible shots we would collect, my attention moved towards organising the actors.
This was a stressful job as it was hard to show what I and the group exactly wanted from them.
We stopped between each shot, so I was able to explain how we wanted them to portray a
certain emotion.

When we filmed at sainsburys the role of directing our actors was rather complicated as
there was limited lighting and by this time we had spent roughly an hour filming, so we
found our actors had begun to lose concentration. Although this section was rushed due to
the above factors, I do think this section was particularly successful. Editing in later stages
may have allowed for areas of weakness eg. actors smirking, to be hidden.

I really enjoyed being the director as I was able to bring ideas and influence certain
decisions that we made. I feel like I organised the actors well to aid that the filming and
collection of shots ran as smoothly as possible. In the future I would like to potentially
be more involved in the actual filming and practice using different forms of technology
that we used to capture the shots.
