Production Diary - The End?

Having completed my Media Advanced portfolio, I've certainly learnt a lot. There were the problems with sound that necesitated a whole new idea + script, having to work around my lead actor cutting his hand open and applying some improv first aid, as well as the fact that editing never turns out how you'd expect.

 

This has all come together and means that now I've followed this idea through to completion I've learnt skills that I'll be able to apply to other projects I tackle in the future.

 

While completing this project I've also co-directed the school play, a performance of Byrony Lavery's It Snows worked with the BFI as part of a film academy and worked as an editor for another short film. As well as that I've also gone through the UCAS process and applied for Portsmouth University to do a Digital Film and Television production course meaning that I'll be working with similar equipment and software that I used throughout this course for a little longer yet.

 

It's not been easy but it's definitely the most enjoyable task I've ever had to complete for school - something I will certainly be trying to do again. It's been exhausting and typing what will be my final production diary is making it feel like a cinematic ending montage with the Killers playing over it (Mr Brightside) just to cement the fact it's all over.
