Behind The Scenes

Evaluation:

Our four person team worked together in order to create our narrative video. My role was of the Director as well as of the producer role.In my first-ever directing role, I had to make sure the filming went smoothly and that every actor knew their lines by heart. I also took on the task of casting the roles, firstly we needed male twins. Sadly, they were unable to take part as they were not free, thus we decided together to cut the twins segment from the video. It was important to communicate clearly, I gave each actor their character description, specific clothing standards, and even outfit recommendations. The filming schedule, however, proved to be a major problem for all of us. Though we had assumed that filming in our school, more precisely in the library on the upper level of LGS Defence Phase 5, would be easy, we were encountered with a numerous problems. Our production, which was originally dated for September 19, but was delayed since our actors were uncooperative, which was blamed to bad weather and because of the fact that our school administration did not give us permission to shoot.  September 21 was difficult because we were only given one hour—from 4 to 5 PM—for the shoot by the school administration. The pressure increased, resulting in a quick run on the day of the shoot, to the library. In the computer lab, I helped our actor, Rania, who played Hermione, get ready for her outfit change and hairstyle. I could feel the pressure of time building up, so I quickly used a straightener to curl her hair. Once we got to the library, we-quickly went over the scenes, checked the script, and double-checked the outfits of each. The difficulty I encountered was when I found out that our female model Rania hadn't memorised her lines , so I had to help her memorise in time.
