We’ve watched three films of recent graduate films with an questionaire and answeraire of the directors after the screening about their films and the last, 3rd year of BA Film.
Few points I mark down during the talk:
Producer and Director has to show trust and faith in each other.
As long as it works, take and use free stuff.
Mis-en-scene will require the most amount of money from the budget.
Keep the crew happy.
Catering is extremely important.
Stick to shot lists! A needed help.
Ask yourself: how do I make a film work for me?
All and every stage of film production is important!
Keep sound logs. The more professional everyone plays their parts, the easier it will be in post.
Blog is a massive help!
Don’t waste your BA – when you finish, continue writing.
Start working and searching for a job NOW.
Develop a CV (applying uni experience) and go to job fairs, production base, graduate jobs.
Learn Avid – it is an industry standard.
The three advises given by the three directors:
- Clear idea and be prepared.
- Do what you really care about.
- Just chill out.
