Udine Film Festival filming For CUEAFS
The next three days were all routined except a large event on the final day whicj will discuus in a minute. I went ovver there as a camera man but ended up doing photography and sound as well ,this was ok because it gave me more to do and more to learn and work on . The days were split into 1 interview a day ,one panel and vox pops then any events that took place and then finishing with a late night of editing with David Hanna ,where i was there for emotional support only.
The first day was the only problematic day where the sound recorded on an interview was simply dreadful and editing was difficult because of it and the interview was no where near its full potential, After this i stepped in after words were said by Spencer Murphy and i took the Directing role and the interviews after i kept a close eye on the sound and the interviews . It taught me to step in and not hesitate,you cant be scared to step on other toes or upset them ,if a job needs to be done then do it .i will be more forward in future and be more hands on in future. I found directing for the rest of the week to be a great experience as i worked closely and learnt from Spencer as well as worked on my directing skills in unison with my technical, it pushed me forward and i appreciated the experience and it taught me a lot.
This experience taught me time management, good team skills ,creativity ,assertiveness ,camera skills ,great directing experience and helped in self confidence. so to say it was worth the money is an understatement. These skills are important in the industry that i am going in to and will be well remembered .
This year went so welll that i have been invited back next year to take part in the filming crew as well.
