Producing-
I have mixed feeling about producing like some times i wish i was doing something more practical and creative but at the same time i find it really easy to do. Im very organised and like schedules and budgeting so all the stuff is fine and when things go wrong i can normally thing of an solution. I think the thing that made this project hard to produce is that not everyone was on the same level as me, so when i was trying to create schedules or sort out tasks for people to do id ask for them on a monday and get them on the following friday which made the whole thing stressful and generally just complicated the whole process as i was not only having to produce but run around after people making sure things would get done other wise we would have had no film. One of the things i felt that was hard when producing this was that when things would go wrong everyone turned to me and even though i wanted to cry and punch everyone i couldn't and had to be like no its fine keep going other wise the group would have completely given up. It was really hard to find the right ballence of being bossy and having fun aswell becuase its a 2nd year university project it didnt need to be stressfull and misserable so i was tying to be upbeat and make sure everything was ok, but when people were co operating i didnt know what to do, i couldnt be like sit down shut up your doing this now do it my way kind of thing because thats not fair but at the same time theres only so many times you can say soemthing polietly to someone before its taking the mick.
so over all i like the producing side of things but i dont think i am bossy enough yet to look after a group of people.
Directing -
I dont really know how i feel about directing as i didnt get to do it correctly. I liked having more of an oppertunity to control the creative side of but at the same time because things were messing up on the production side and with the team it was really hard to focus 100% on directing. It was hard to direct on set as the 1ad was really keeping track of anything or knew what a 1ad should do so that made me really worried so i was then trying to direct and 1ad which just wasnt working and charlie ended up taking over the directing a little bit. The thing that helped alot was the actor, he was really good so didnt need much direction he understood what he was ment to be doing and took to what i said really easily. I think id like to try directing again but with a better project and that being the only thing i have to do so i can put as much effort into it as is needed.
