Debbie - summary of the project

I cant believe this is the end. Is it really the end? Will this project ever end ? no is the answer to that.

Along side having to create an opening title sequence for the film as we tried to film one but it just wasnt quite right, i now have to do MORE BLOODY WORK FOR THIS FILM. WHY WONT IT LEAVE ME ALONE. After hand in i have to start sorting out the indegogo bundles for the film and send them off to the people who funded our film.

Summary of  the debbie blog 

I feel like i havent blogged as much as i should have for this film it and if i have not gone into that much detail compared to the amount of work i have done, however as i have spent so much time actually doing the work i have not been able to keep on track of this too.  I have done 100s of reaserch and plans which hopefully you can see through the quality of work produced from all of us, but i was not able to document the whole process here. 

As producer it is also really hard to document the process as after all the inital reaserch done for BTB most of it was me filling out paper work and generally managing the group, and i feel like i dont really need to write a blog post on why i did the sooting scedual/ call sheets or other bits of paper work becuase it should be self explanatory from the pre production folder. 

I have tried to go into much detail of the additional roles i covered and demonstarate the work i have put in but we started this project LAST APRIL and its really hard to go back and remember 12 months worth of work and reaserch when you just did it naturally with out thought. 


I have  also gone into alot of detail of my thoughts of the process and the film on my evaluation of the film submited with the project. 


Summary of the whole process. 

This project was challenging!  I think it is more interesting to take on a challenging project than a simple one as you can learn more from it. Our group set out to not only demonstrate the skills we have through this film but take on something we have never done before. All though for the most part and actual nightmare to create  with the complexity, restriction, problems and negitivity this film faced actually seeing it through to completion egnoring what it looks like take a lot off skill, patience and will power from the whole  team.  Along side that, the film is in my opinion pretty good for a student project of 5 people who had never done something like this. We all used the skills we had to the best we could for this project, ok the story isnt that great and it still needs a bit of tweaking but the over all out come is more than any of us could have imagined. The film shows how we have all used the skills given to us on this course as well as demonstrates who experimental techniques taught on DFSA can be used alongside traditional cinema to create something unique, unusual and well executed.  The whole process has probably been the biggest yet best learning curve for us all in the whole time at university, teaching us not only new skills but showing to ourselve that we do have it in ours to do something to this scale. I think despite what the film looks like, what grade it gets and what anyone thinks of it every one who took part in this project from lucy the director to kat on clapper should be proud of the efforts they put in to achieve something well all enjoy. I think despite the negativity and struggles we have had to make this rather than being glad its over we should be glad its happened, and continue on with the will power and determinism we have gained from this project  to make even bigger and even crazier things in the future.

And ... Im glad this is the evaluation i am writing for my final proejct as when i started this course i had no idea what i was doing, got pushed into a load of rubish groups and generally for the most part wanted to give up, how ever i have put 1000% of my energy into everything i do and  i feel like now it was all worth doing. 



This post was originally meant to evaluate the film but i went on a bit of a soppy tangent so i think im going to leave it at that.
