Week 4 - Daniel Middleton

This week was a challenging task we had to duplicate all shots and the whole mise-en-scene from a scene from the 1966 Ingmar Bergman film "Persona". I was however ready for the challenge and determined to make a strong piece after the week 3 absence.

I took the role of director this week as I wanted a challenging role, i knew it would be difficult to exactly duplicate the whole scene but thought with strong direction thought this would be possible. I have to give credit to my actors for piece who did two wonderful performances. They listened to any stage directions i gave and listened to everything i said and gave two very strong performances.

I worked very close along the cinematographer this week as it was important for the director and the cinematographer to work closely alongside each other as to try and duplicate the piece shot by shot. I think we worked well together and this is shown by the final product.

One criticism of the project for this week was the lighting however me and the cinematographer must also accept fault for the one scene were we really used misplaced lighting and the film was led by our direction so we should have noticed this fault.

Overall for this project i think it was a success and we did well to duplicate nearly all the shots and had great acting performances and think this piece was a very strong piece.
