After the three days of the film invitational came the film festival. Everyone who was picked as an official selection by the AAHSFF from all over the world came to NY and watched the films everyone had made for the event.. The weekend was filled with a lot of events such as the Teen indie awards. The awards were held in the Kings theatre. The kings theatre was very extravagant. Watching all of the nominee’s and all the scholarships that were given out really inspired me to step up my game since none of the films we created were nominees. And being in such an environment really showed me what i want to do with the rest of my life. I want to make films
The AAHSFF invitational was a fantastic experience in my opinion. We got to film in various locations such as central park and other places in New York. It also gave us valuable practice in working in this film because we Produced Directed Filmed and Edited the film ourselves. It Forced us to reach out to places and contact multiple different restaurants and such to use as locations to film. It allowed us high school students to get a taste of what it's like to be real film makers. Being Filmmakers was very stressful but rewarding at the same time. One thing that i learned from this experience is that you can never be too prepared. It is always better to over prepare and shoot more than you need than it is to not shoot enough and in result end up with no cutaway shots to hide a very visible jump cut.And Always block every scene to make sure that in post the characters’ movements is continuous and flows correctly and also so the camera doesn’t bump into anything when shooting the shots. Another thing that is important is to divide up the work. The hardest part of the invitational was editing everything we shot in the last two days in eight hours. Editing on one computer would have probably been impossible considering it was already challenging on two computers. However even through all these challenges we managed to complete the film we had set out to make. |
