Since the last exercise, I have discovered that I am more comfortable with directing actors and integrating the performances as a direct response to the space or location. My weaker areas as a director are paying attention and maintaining control of what the camera actually captures or frames and monitoring sound as well.
In my practice so far, I am slowly getting use to thinking about scene coverage in general. Initially it was very difficult as scene coverage has always been something in the subconscious for me, even when i am analysing the works of others. Only through the exercises and discussions in the course did I start to notice its significance and effects. With that said, I am currently at a point where I notice it in the films I watch and write about, but I am still getting carried away with reinterpreting the scenario and motivations of the characters and events more than anything. I suppose when I try to create something I am constantly trying to generate meaning rather than play around with what is presented.
Maybe my trouble is trying to fit into an industrial film making practice, where each individual have their own positions or roles within the collaboration, whilst being in a post industrial environment, where collaboration is becoming a less systematic process and distinction between roles and contributions are becoming less prominent.
