This week’s film was based around Dan’s British Social
Realism script. The script told the story of a dysfunctional couple who were
expecting a child and had little to no source of income. The main standout
feature of this film that really motivated the piece was the twist that it was
told from a child’s perspective, which is only revealed at the end of the
piece. My role this week was only acting, mainly because we have a large group
and there were other members who needed to take certain roles in order to have
played a large part in at least three of our films.
Dan hadn’t really written a script so that the actors, Dan
and I, were able to improvise our lines and say what was natural. This worked
really well and created a great rhythm with uncomfortable pauses and innate
conversations with deeper meanings. Our film was well received on the Friday
viewing with the only a few major faults. Number one being sounds and the
occasional out of place shot that took away from the dramatic ending (As it
would be impossible for a child to see from that angle). Number two that some
of the shots should have been cut shorter in editing, however our director wasn’t
available on the day that we were editing and our editor didn’t want to make
those kinds of creative decisions. Overall I was really happy with this week’s
piece and would go so far to say that it is one of our best films that we have
made as a production team.
