Well, here it is. The beginning of my foray into the world of directing. After many problems with the story and actors canceling at the last minute, we went into shooting this a little confused as to what we should do. After getting through that stressful yet amazing day, we then discovered that the first third of our shots were out of focus prompting my group to feel that utter despair our tutors told us to expect in the editing process. However, after three edits of the film and finding ourselves still struggling we came across some royalty free music entitled: Silent Movie Sound. An epiphany struck and after some lateral thinking from all the group with titles being used and funky transitions in place, we had come out with something that satisfied all our requirements.
I feel that our group really learned a lot during the course. Simply because of the problems we had putting it together and that we still came out with what we thought was a funny movie with a gag ending involving a man who is unlucky in love getting unexpectedly lucky. Those were our requirements and the fact that we reached them in a very different way than intended only led us to better understand the real power of film. I cant wait to run into more trouble and see what happens next time...
