In week 10, we had the opportunity to present our ideas for our short film. This included discussing the form and format of our film, our inspirations, potential locations, and the equipment we planned to use. This presentation was a significant milestone in our journey, as it allowed us to articulate our vision and receive feedback on our initial ideas.

One of the most nerve-racking experiences was the script reading. The anticipation of not knowing whether our work was good or bad was intense. However, the feedback we received was invaluable, and I was surprised that it was more positive than I anticipated. That being said, It helped us refine our script, particularly our comedic elements. We were advised to change some of our old jokes to make the comedy more effective, which we took to heart. 

Despite the constructive feedback, finalizing our script was not a straightforward process. We had to go through lengthy discussions, weighing the pros and cons of each suggestion, before we could agree on the final version. This process, although challenging, was a testament to our team’s commitment to producing a quality film.

With our script finalised, we are now moving into the first production process – filming. This will take place during class time in week 11. We have secured the necessary equipment and have been granted permission to film at our chosen locations.

As we look forward to the filming process, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. I hope that the filming process will go smoothly and that the final product will align with the image we have in our heads.

In conclusion, this journey has been a rollercoaster of emotions, filled with breakthroughs, challenges, and invaluable learning experiences. I am grateful for the feedback and support from our peers and the WIP panel. As we move into the production phase, I am confident that we will continue to grow and produce a film we can be proud of.
