Personal Involvement: Written, Directed, Filmed, Edited
The first video I directed on a larger scale than just me in my house. I was so nervous and excited. Thanks to all in my graduate writing program friends who participated as actors, as well as my close friends from undergrad!
Lessons learned: I wanted to have fast zooms into certain subjects, which I thought would be fine to do in post. However, zooming in the editing room is much more complicated (which point to zoom on? how fast? for how long?) and it reduces the quality of the picture. It’s much better to just zoom with the camera during the actual shoot.
Also, at the end, I broke the sacred 180 degree line.
