Student Films
We watched a variety of the short films made by past student, which provided some inspiration from where they drew their ideas and how they made their films. Many of the films where highly cinematic and well edited, but sometimes were lacking slightly in sound. Often with filming in external locations, their audio was less clear and well defined. I found also that sometimes the dialogue was slightly clunky and needed to be more natural, and sometimes those pieces with less dialogue worked better. However some were able to have very effective use of dialogue, often supported by skilled acting. This helps to show the importance of casting correctly when making my film.
It was also interesting to see some of the locations used to film, with some choosing to film in public places, and others in buildings and shops, likely needing to get permission to film in these places. I think both work well, but often filming in public places meant it seemed more difficult to get clean audio. It seemed important to choose the right locations to fit with the aesthetics and narratives of each film.
