Outcome
Challenges
With the amount of resources (or lack thereof) it was a struggle doing everything myself; shooting, music composition (in some scenes), acting. Getting the right shots and scenes were time consuming but it has taught me ways to creatively find solutions to ensure my creative vision is clearly shown in the film.
I also struggled during the writing process of the film, where I found myself losing focus on what I want to say in the film. In this project I have learned to keep myself disciplined and grounded to ensure that the film does not go too far off tangent, as I was given a maximum of 6 minutes for the film, and I would not want to bore or confuse audiences.
