Production Skill Development

Throughout this project my planning has improved the most.  There are many things to plan like the shots, dialogue, location, props, and character design.  There are a lot of pieces that need to connect.  I have made a shot list, storyboard, mood boards, and props.  All of these things were done before the production so our film opening will be as good as possible.  During the filming I was the one behind the camera.  My filming has improved. In the opening there are many camera movement techniques like pans, tilts, and tracking shots.  I gained some experience as a director even though I was only directing 1 or 2 people at a time. My editing has improved greatly because before this project I had very minimal editing experience. 

The hardest part when filming was the opening shot. This is because I had to get the right lighting and tell the actors where to be and what to do. This part of the project developed my skills the most, since there was the most challenges.
