Film/TV2: Analysis/Reflection 5: Q2

You were asked this at the beginning of the semester. Now, could you review constructively what you got from this semester –  has the course lived up to your expectations, delivered what you expected, maybe even surpassed it?

After tedious weeks of filming (tedious, but fun, nonetheless), creating a documentary was, as expected, insightful and intuitive, as I learned to assimilate a more personalised approach to filming. We didn’t have as much of a time constraint as compared to Film/TV 1 and I thought this gave us much more room to improvise on our script and structure. I felt that NOT having an initial storyboard made us feel ‘unrestricted’, and unbounded us from the conventional ways of documentary production.
