Director and Cinematographer
For this upcoming film, I will be taking over as director, directing is something I have experience with because of my previous film. I know what worked well and what needed improvements. I also will be taking on the role of cinematographer, with past knowledge, I understand the overall role. There is bound to be improvements in my camera taking this time.
What went successful
During my previous film, I brought every actor within time of what they needed to wear and speak. I think this part of my previous film is what made my directing better. Therefore, I will take the same approach to plan a location, date, and equipment. Based on cinematography, I went well in handheld shots, since my previous film included these types of shots. It's best to keep these types of shots in my upcoming film. These both strengths are what is going to count once I start production, I aim to minimize any mistakes once filming starts happening.
Needed Improvements
One area I wanted to improve as a director that I noticed while mid-production was to establish a better understanding of what my vision is of the film and details in my mind that need to be shown by the actors. This time, before the film date, I will go on call with the actors and show what is needed and expected from acting in the film. In this way, actors gain better knowledge what they need to do before instead of at the moment which can prove to be worse. Improving as a cinematographer showed me what is needed to actually put meaning behind these scenes, but I really did not demonstrate that in my previous film, I think having too successful of shots is worse than having little success of shots because of the quality of the scene. This time, I want to deliver the best possible expectation of a scene, no matter the attempts. Thinking that the scene is fine and going on with it to spend as little time is something to leave behind.
