Teamwork

Filming this movie was an absolute blast! We all collaborated so well it was as if we had all worked together before. Our director Imran had a great vision for how he wanted the shots to look and what feel the movie should have. He had things well planned and storyboarded so we were able to utilize them as a valuable tool to guide our shots and keep us on track. We were also able to easily improvise and let our creativity flow with ideas that weren’t necessarily planned for, and I think this helped our film have a good balance of creative freedom and organization.
Jennie, the cameraman (woman rather) was also invaluable to the process. She was not only very knowledgeable of the camera and also very daring. She was willing to shoot take after take of the same scene or even the tiniest moment to get it just right. She climbed on top of desks, hung out of windows, and ran around after our actor chasing him down the side walk and walk and down stairs. She was a true trooper. She also worked very hard to work around everyone’s scheduling conflicts. Jennie made herself as available as a busy college student possibly could and sacrificed a lot for the sake of our team and our film.
Well, to this point , Bryan and I have not made our big contributions to this project—not for the sake of laziness, but rather the project simply has not reached the point at which our jobs kick in. Bryan should begin editing tonight or tomorrow and should finish sometime this weekend. Then the footage will come to me to add in the sound effects, music, and any voiceovers or rerecordings if needed. These next two steps will be what take the raw footage that contains our ideas and turn it into a finished work. over the next few days we will be working, under the creative supervision of our director, along with input and ideas of our entire team, to polish the rough scenes into a work of art for all to enjoy. I am excited to see what Bryan puts together. I know once I watch it a few times, the ideas will start flowing. I hope the finished product comes together like we envisioned. If the people watching it enjoy it half as much as I have enjoyed making it, it will be well worth the effort.
