Reflection of Stairway Shoot Week 4

So this week we were tasked into groups to shoot a scene on the stairwells of building nine.

We had more time to shoot this scene compared to last week so we were a lot relieved to be able to put more thought into how our shots would be constructed. I was director, not because I asked to be but because no one else wanted to be. I obviously love directing films and having that creative control over how something looks, however, I know I need to try harder to experiment in the other aspects of film making. I like that for these tasks we have an executive team and a supportive team. I am able to do what I enjoy about film making, whilst doing what another team wants and needs me to do behind the scenes.

At first we were a bit confused with the task as last weeks task and its somewhat failures lingered in our minds. Despite this, we were able to start shooting straight away and get 5 different shots (I think it was 5).

I was really happy with how efficient we were with getting the task done, and we finished with time to spare so the other team had 20 more minutes to think about what they wanted to do. This was surprising as we hadn’t drawn a storyboard for our scene and had a quick 10 minute discussion in the stairwell to figure out what we were going to do.

I enjoyed this task and love working in a productive group.
