Sophie: Week 6.


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.
