Throughout filming during isolation a large takeaway is the ability to adapt to changing environments. Whilst shot planning was beneficial to organise the scene, I had to accommodate for the different rooms I would be filming in. I had to adjust my plan due to available lighting sources, visual and audio quality and where I was able to shoot from. With group members controlling the position of their laptop for the shot, I was able to improve my film vocabulary and ability to articulate what I wanted. The online constraints were difficult in regards to group work but I am more grateful for the future and being able to be involved with in-person shoots.

Regardless of isolation, I learnt many aspects in planning and editing using Premiere Pro. I had never sorted out my planning using markups and floor plans which helped me sort out the type of film I wanted even though it didn’t go to plan. I had more engagement with editing this studio learning new shortcuts, colour grading and sound design. I also realised how easy it is to learn new things as Youtube has videos on everything I wanted to add to my film at the time. This covid studio really inspired me to be able to create more things at home, regardless of the room or camera, and the importance of pre-production.

This film presents a conversation between a purposive liquidator and a absent-minded young man who is distracted by things disappearing. Even without the high quality camera or the unfortunate process of shots, I hope it is still entertaining.
