HinterLand Water
Here is a list of who's in my group and the roles within the group for this project.
My group:
Director - Kimberly McClarnan
Lights/Boom Operator - Rhianwen Davies
Camera Operator - Liam King
Production Sound Mixer - Emily Barresi
Actors:
Detective - Eduardo
Director -
For my role as director, I was in charge of everything. I really enjoyed being director and coming up with different ideas as it's very creative and also it made my feel more confident in telling people what to do. My first thought was to film the part where the detective goes in his room and thought we would use Emily room in Mount Pleasant Halls but then we realised that her room was too girly and small to film so instead we went in her kitchen to film. The kitchen was a better idea to film as it was very messy and in the scene in Hinterland, his caravan was also very messy. We followed the plan and also took a few extra different shots to see how it would go and what it would look like in the edit. After we finished filming in the kitchen, we headed outside to film Eduardo running through Mount Pleasant Campus back to his front door. We were very lucky with the weather as it was raining slightly in the afternoon but the time we went out to film, the weather change and it was lovely. From some shots we took, we had changed the scene slightly as one of the shots after Eduardo speaks on this phone, he looks straight into the camera giving a 'Zoolander' look which made us all laugh and made me think that we could do a plot twist and actually turn this into an advert (which was my first original plan and idea) at the end and the audience wouldn't expect it to happen. We had Liam doing a voiceover at the end advertising 'Hinterland Water' which we all found good and funny to do for our final film.
Overall Performance -
In my opinion, I really enjoyed directing and enjoyed the day filming for this. We all followed the plan I made and all helped eachother out. As I said, from doing this it has given me more confidence and ideas to look further into for next year when we do more stuff like this as groups or individually. The only thing I couldn't decide on was to actually make the scene from Hinterland or change it slightly towards the end for when Eduardo did that look which made us all laugh and gave me an idea to change it into an advert which I did as that was my first plan of doing an advert for this. Everyone in my group worked well on their role and I was very happy on how it all ended up and resulted.
Problems? -
There were a few problems during this as we were supposed to have another boy to act but he had to drop out so I asked around and luckily enough Eduardo was available to help us out. When we were filming in the kitchen, it took a lot of time as it was pretty hard for Liam to film as there wasn't much space so he had to sit up on the units to check if the shot in focus etc. As the whole scene in the kitchen took a while it resulted in losing time and Eduardo had to go in a certain time so the running scene we had to rush a bit and we couldn't go where we originally planned to go film as it was quite a long walk so we just ended up filming him running through Mount Pleasant campus looking like he's had a long run and going back to his room.
