My primary goal at the semester’s beginning was to increase my technical aptitude (I missed analysis and reflection 1 so have not recorded this), At many points in the production and post production stages of our film I have endeavored to expose myself to as many applied roles as possible, this was made somewhat inevitable as neither members of my partnership were particularly competant in this area. While indeed this semester has required me to try my hand at all aspects of the production process, this has been at the detriment of the overall aesthetic of our film, due to our limited understanding of equipment troubleshooting, it seemed as though our we were beset with a new disaster every time we tried to shoot! Putting this in perspective however, it is important to note that my ability has improved somewhat over the course of the semester making for an experience which has been continually rewarding.
