Short Film
Pre production
I wrote the short film "Connect" in hopes that it would be produced by the class. In the past, I've written short films from 15 to 17 pages. I liked complicated stories with big characters and meaningful development. I like to have my comedies lengthy to build up familiarity. Those projects were extremely difficult to work. scheduling was the first hardship, not to mention demanding time and skilled acting needed to captivate an audience that time. It was challenging, But made the decision to edit myself. I wrote a simple, yet humorous, short film. It only had two actors and Two locations. It was 5 pages, so that meant five minutes of screen time. Filming time would quadruple.
in past projects, My anxiety would cause me to be a tad of a control freak. I would write, direct because it was my vision. I would film because I wouldn't trust the cinematographer to I would take over the camera, and edit the entire thing in the end. This time, I only wrote and directed. I let Lauryn complete her vision through the camera as DP, and Erin my editor used her skills to fit our ideas, but still managed to make it her own. I'm proud that I put trust in my team members to refine their crafts and still collaborate with the rest of the group.
The actors Dom and Mario, I was skeptical of atfirst. I'm friends with both of them, but I had never seen them act before, so I was taking a gamble. Filming can be lengthy and tiresome, but with Lauryn on camera, I was able to focus almost entirely on getting the performance out of them that I wanted. as we set up the lights and sound equipment, they practiced lines. we kept a fun shooting environment so nothing got too stressful. We kept things light and positive even though the shoot went longer than expected. I'm very thankful they were able to take notes and criticism, both were compliant when I asked them to do a take a different way or the exact same way for the MILLIONTH time. as a comedy filmmaker, is one of my top priorities and they left me very satisfied.
