1) I have learned - since starting my senior project - how to create a short film, efficiently. I learned how to create films in previous classes, like film creation sophmore year. The difference now is the efficient part. In ROP we learned how to be accountable for every single shot, word, step, detail, everything. And even though being so anal about all the details takes up time and effort, in the end it really pays off to be organized. Everything just runs smoother and its less stressful. The first week of ROP we did a door scene with no pre-production stage. We had to make up a story, which shots we were going to use, location...etc. all on the spot. And though it was fast, the quailty of the scene is horrible compared to the quality of the short film in which we had to meticulously plan out every detail in the pre-production stage. I see now that the pre-production stage is so important to everything that follows.
2) This is my groups door scene (without preparation or pre-production organization).
We don't have the other one (with pre-production) uploaded to youtube yet. But when we do i will post it. For now, these are the camera reports. Basically, someone takes note while on set and writes which shots are good according to the director and which ones aren't. This saves loads of time later in the editing room because you just have to refer to the notes, or this report, to know which shots the director wants to be used.
3) My main source for the knowledge I've thus gained has been my ROP instructor Mr. Miller. He's stressed the importance of each stage that goes into film-making. And we've been able to see his point hands on now.
