A2 short film 2010

After completing my final short film for my A2 coursework, i can look back on the work I collected to put together this production but also what i had gained individually from the process. Working within my group helped me improve my team working skills and being open to other ideas.Looking back on the first part of our pre production when we had to make moodboards, a pitch and script based on the colour red for our film to the end when we completed our editing and completing film reviews and posters. I Would say my skills in using software and equipment, creating using ideas a short film has developed and improved. Through different workshops , i learnt about creativity and this helped my team work and completing my film be a success. i am proud of what i have achieved at the end of completing my coursework .

directors role

What to do with your cast as a director...
The director should really be the only one talking to the cast, they need to form a special relationship
- Explain the character to help get them into role
- Introduce them to the character profiles - give them the background to the person they'll be playing
- Don't give them a stereotype of character such as "Your character is really bitchy" as it may affect their acting
During rehearsals
- Clearly explain what they need to do
- Take them to locations
- And maybe explain to them how a film is made - inform them of the various steps included so they understand that it's not easy or simple and will require patience
- Rehearse in order of the shooting schedule
- Show them the storyboard and shooting schedule
