Production notes

To be honest I unfortunately have to admit that I did not learn anything. This however is not the fault of any of the faculty, but a mere result of the fact that I have been doing this sort of work for 3 years already. Though of course, like most things there were some minor aspects which presented new challenges. I have done interviews before, but they were always thoroughly scripted. In class however it was a lot more free form. This being the case it was fun for me to try and cut, and re-piece audio in such a way as to form a narrative, rather than simply arraigning the parts of a preconceived narrative.  Overall I am pleased with the work I have done and think it accomplishes my major aim: to tell a short story in an entertaining manner. Though I do agree upon further examination that perhaps a 2nd pause would have been helpful since its is generally broken up into 3 topics. If I were to pick out anything in particular that I found useful or enjoyable in the making of this project I would have to say that the sharpening of my skills in using image to convey an idea or concept was my most favorable aspect of the project. I tried to apply what I have seen in other films in order to create an effect of an integration of sound and image. Given another chance I would do it differently, chiefly I would simply do it better, a lot of which was related to the lack of time due to my dense schedule.
