Video Production 5

After I made the storyboard and I presented my idea to the teacher, I started the production of my short film. I told all my helpers the idea and how I need to produce it. The idea is a red curtain that looks like a curtain from the theater, however when it opens the truth gets revealed and it turns out that it is a curtain of a window, and the music that can be heard is only the music from the girl's iPod. There are two camera movements a vertical and a zooming movement. I had 2 helpers who handles the curtain opening, one who I explained how the camera should exactly move, and the main character the girl was played by myself. We developed the short film with a tripod which made a fairly clear picture. Several retakes were taken and changes during the shooting, it wasn't an easy task to communicate with my helpers who were inside the building whilst I was sitting outside, and I couldn't see anything inside, plus I was listening to music because of my role, so sometimes I did not hear my phone ringing. I had to run inside the building every now and then to make sure everything is gioing well, and to check on the shoots to see if any retakes need to be done.
