I've made a film involving interviewing ten people about their most precious object - that became an interview with a beekeeper - which became a very rubbish little film about bees.
But I don't care, because its very rubbishness has some charm. I think. And the end does make me laugh.
NB: This is the now finished version. Slightly better quality.
Having now had time to reflect on this, my comments are as follows:
1. The above was a bit of a means to an end. To get through the film-making section of the course. Much as I loved thinking of ideas, I have no desire to ever try and make a film again!
2. I think the finished result is ok. However, music would have really helped. It's amazing, actually, how much great music masks very basic film making. Despite what your eyes are seeing, if the sound is great your heart is automatically lifted.
3. Continuous rain would have been good, as well as more consistent sound. I tried really hard, but just couldn't sort it.
It was very simple (giving it a certain charm). With a clear narrative. And an important message. But, ok, a bit crap!
