Week 7, Golden R.M

This week we were given free reign of what to do so the group decided that we should reshoot the film from last week. In theory this should have been an easy task but our main actor had a job interview halfway through filming so we only had limited time to film the shots we needed. Even with this extra pressure that was put on us we were able to complete filming in time, because we had a more defined shot list and an idea of what our actors would be saying in each shot, but we became to focused on doing the things we messed up on last week well that we did not put enough emphasis on the things that we did well resulting in a film that was once again not to our full ability as some of the shots were to dark and some of the camera work was to complex that it did not make scene and ruined the ending of the film by not capturing the essence of the film last week, this week I shared camera and cinematography with Andy, this lead to some differences in opinion and because of our different styles the camera work looks disjointed and at times looks like we are trying to hard to emulate a child’s movement, this was also because of the confusing direction and at times lack of direction. I have taken some important lessons from this week mainly the need for clear and precise direction and full cooperation and trust in the group something I felt that this week we lacked. In the end we have decide to use or week 3 film one last reminder as our final piece, but as two of our members were not there for filming I believe that they have submitted one of our other pieces of work, this was a shame because we all agreed that we thought that our week three film was our best and most praised piece of work.
