I worked with Martins Galenieks this week to producer our 'Space' themed film, we didn't really specify who was Producer or Director, however I generally took the role of Produce.
We had a couple of aims for the film, one was to show how the space transformed when the Buddhists prepared it for meditation, another was how the community centre itself changed, we also had a more spiritual meaning, that of the Buddhists themselves, the way their 'space of mind' changed when they were in their sacred space.
To have so many different messages flying around in our heads whilst making this film confused the film a little, in class people found it difficult to find the exact message we were sending. And after Eddy asked if people would of know that the film had a space theme without knowing that it had a space film, made it clear that we hadn't really passed the task.
However we did get some good comments about the camera work (although if you look carefully the camera is pretty tilted).
I did enjoy making the project although having to get up at 4.30am on a wednesday morning wasn't the highlight of the year, but I did learn that their defiantly needs to be a prominent director and producer unless we want a messy film with mixed messages.
It was also fun working with a Editor from TVP who knew exactly how to use final cut pro without having to ask the teccy's to help us with every little detail.
Overall i'm pretty happy with our space project as well as learning a lot about Buddhism.
Very much looking forward to our documentary project for this week and hoping that a little bit of snow isn't going to mean uni's closed!!!
