BLOG QUESTION: CHASE FILM REFLECTION

Think back to when you pitched your chase film. How close is your final product to what you envisioned? Write an in-depth reflection on what went well and what challenges you had while making it. Dig deep! How did you perform on the project?

I believe our pitch was pretty close to what we envisioned! For the most part, every major action we wanted to include was in the chase. We changed a few minor details based on the location when we got there, but it didn't change the story arc. I think what went well the most was filming itself. We were nervous at first because we had trouble with the locations during pre-production, but when we started filming on day 1 we managed to stick to the schedule we agreed upon, and had plenty of time to take breaks as well. It was also an easy filming process because our actors were easy to communicate with and they were eager to be in our project. I think I performed pretty well as it was my first time directing and being the DoP, and it was an overall smooth experience.
