When the assignment was given out to individually write your own script and shoot it with a group, my group consisted of four people. So we each wrote our own scripts and incorporated four characters in most of them. The day filming is supposed to occur, one of our members drops the class causing every one to have to alter their scripts.
Doing run-throughs, coming to class on time, and calm directing helped my group stay focused and successfully accomplish filming our projects on time without any serious concerns. It was difficult for each of us to direct because when you direct everyone depends on you, but working with easy-going people made things a lot less stressful.
My group did run into complications when doing run-throughs and timing out our scenes in order to emphasize some details and not make our scenes appear boring by using different environments and angles. It was really fun to shoot because we all incorporated our own ideas into each others scripts, not only adding a piece of ourselves to the work but helping out our fellow group members.
Framing shots became tricky because each different scene had a different story meaning that had a different angle and frame around it. When we figured out where each scene was going to be filmed, we did run-throughs, which allowed us to see how we are framing the scene.
My perception changed when I thought I was going to be shooting in one area and when we actually arrived to shot there. I quickly realized the location I chose to shot at was not going to compliment my scene so I had to switch. After we shot my scene and got the opportunity to review it, I saw how it came out to appear more comical than I anticipated. I thought that the shot was going to be wider, but after reviewing the tape, it consisted of medium close-ups. What I thought I was shooting wasn't necessarily what I had actually shot, just like in the Cortazar text.
