So, past weekend were very productive to my production process. I borrowed a professional camera, lighting kit, microfone from our school. I was shooting during Saturday and Sunday. It was a huge difference from the camera I had when I was shooting for the trailer. The quality is amazing so I was very satisfied with the equipment. However, I had a hard time with lighting. I was shooting in the evening the dialog of two characters in the room. I tried every angle possible with a few lights surrounding the set but I still didn't manage to get rid of big shadows. It made me very upset and my inspiration was gone in a few minutes. I realized how hard it is to be a few people in one, what I mean is - a screen writer, a cameraman, a producer, an editor and so on. I wish we didn't have to do everything by ourselves, I wish we had a chance to do it in group. I understant that in group work people probably miss lots of stuff just because somebody else does it for everybody else. However, it would be less stressful and probably even more productive.
I am thinking about the poster I have to do for my movies and I feel even more anxious because Photoshop just does not want to be understood by me. I know that it is all practice time but it does not make me feel any better. I am a perfectionist and I want my projects to be excellent, unfortunately it does not always work that way. ANyway, today and tomorrow I will think about the way I want my poster to look. Thursday I will try to make it a reality. Wish me luck!
