Collaboration post of FILM 3

Actually, the process of creating a whole film is a fantastic journey with other people. However, it also might be a “nightmare”. Every one should cooperate with others in the filming process, the most important thing is understand the role we played, and keeping listening others suggestions. However, in some class exercises, I thought we did not achieve it. Some times, people cannot do their own job in a professional way, but it is not a big deal, because they might lack of some experiences. But the bad thing is in one exercise, one people refused to listen others suggestion, it directly leads communication problems, and finally make the project looks not good. Also, I think respect to each other is a basic thing in teamwork. No matter you paly the role of director or the actor, when you need other people to do something, you should be polite and be nice, rather than impolitely ask them to do it. I feel disappointed this situation happened in this semester, because, there isn’t similar situation in last semester studio exercises. I hope every one including myself can learn how to respect each other, receiving useful suggestions, and responsible for the roles they paly.

In my final individual project, I have a fantastic and wonderful journey with my partner Mona and Xiaochen, and two more actors, they help me to complete my plan in a perfect way. They both give me some useful suggestions, and patiently, passionately work with me. Also, Xiaochen always help us to carry the heavy tripod. Thanks to him! In lighting exercise, I think every one have a improvement in collaboration. Everyone clearly know their roles in filming process, and communicate with each other in a good way. Joel and me responsible for the lighting, he is so nice to quickly move the light together with me. In conclusion, I meet some wonderful and talented people in this class, and get one well with the them, through working with them I learn something. I expect to meet most of them again in future.
