Over all the films are short and sweet, i wanted to do lots of short little ones as i thought this would be most engaging for the the viewer. If done for a real life film, the audience could pick and choose who the listen too and learn more about there character and job role. As alot of the answers to the questions were very similar having lots of shot interviews meant they didnt feel repetitive.
There is really and in the back of the interviews how ever if this was my only film/ role i would have focused more on where i filmed them how ever as i had 700 other things doing on i feel like a bit of noise is not that bad
I feel it over all is a bit vauge and could be made better but as it is just a small side project and mainly a momento for us it dose its job.

Debbie: Behind the scenes- Filming and editing
Filming was pretty easy the main thing i had to do was manage the whole process making sure anyone who filmed something knew what was going on and they we had enough coverage for what we needed. As we used several cameras and people filming and lauren was DIT on set for debbie i also let her look after the files for the BTS too. This meant the files were well labeled and organised with who filmed what on what camera and when making it easier to edit. The filming of debbie BTS was done by anyone with a spare pair of hands as we were stretched pretty thin on jobs roles for the film any way. Initially i hired just marco to do the filming for me so he could focus on getting nice shot however as we needed 2 operators for the sound team he got moved over there instead.
Editing the film again was pretty straight forawrd, once i had done all the transcribing and paperwork it was easy to create a narrative to the film and emphasised this with an up beat sound track. The main issue with the edit is the noise in the back ground of the interviews how ever despite trying to noise reduce it we couldnt get rid of it fully.

Debbie: Behind the scenes- planning
Paper work
I want sure what to do for the paperwork as i didnt know what would be happening to know what shots to plan and scedual things so i made a rough set of guidelines and plans thes discribed and showed examples of types of shots i would like.
Therefor who ever was in charge of bts that day could pick up a camera and be like ok im gunna do it like this and see what happens.
The main bit of paperwork was planning the questions and interviews to make sure the answers covered gave a good enough story to edit too.
After filming i also had to transcribe all the answers given and timings and stuff so i could re arange the answers into some form of script to edit the other footage too.
Reserch on paper work
Debbie: Behind the scenes - Research
Like everything ive done this year ive gone a bit OTT with analysing and planing things and even tho my plan for the BTS is pretty simple and laid back i wanted to make sure i was doing it correctly so i have reaserched several different aspects of BTS film and just general documentary making.
Styles of BTS
interviews - asking the crew question on who the made the process
vlog - just filming where ever to document the process cut to music
documentary - Filming the whole process from start to finish asking question along the way
"documentaries on the making of other films has become a film genre in its own right. The making-of film may ultimately be more important than the film itself. "

How to make BTS
How to do interviews
Editing
Debbie: Behind the scenes - Concept, importance and influences
The idea
The idea is pretty self explanatory, i am to create a behind the scenes video that captures all the important moments from creating Debbie, along side interviews with the cast and crew.
why i am doing it
There are 3 main reasons why i wanted to make these films. 1 becuase we promised them to people who contributed to our indegogo as a thankyou , 2 as a reminder to ourselves once the project was over that it wasn't actually as bad as we thought at the time, 3 to gain skills in creating interviews and paper work in planning these films.
why i think behind the scenes are important
im a big fan of behind the scenes videos, some time even more than the film itself, and TBH there one of the main reasons i got into film making.
I enjoy watching them as they not only show you more about a film you love but show off all the unseen tallents and work that go into making a film as well as all the fun they have on them.
I think behind the scenes videos are important to creating films for several reasons
- can be used as a publicity tool
- inspire people to get into film making
- rewarding to watch if fan of the film
- a nice memory for thoose who made the film
- reveal interesting tips and techniques for other film makers
so all though just short little random films i think BTS is an important part of film making.
