directing & experimental

This is a project I working on with a crew. We working on a short film for the overseas Chinese New Year online Festival. The short film was mainly separated one chief director and three executive directors are responsible for script, storyboard, filming.

For the whole film, we spend about 4 days shooting all the footage. When we working on the script we did consider the sequence of scenes, it helps us save more time and be more efficient on shooting.

In the film ‘ Times is money! ’, in each of the frames, we have to consider lots of things: sites, time of the natural light, prop，color of the actor’s clothes how matching with space, cosmetics…etc. We keep everything with a reasonable budget as much as possible!

To be an executive director we have to be familiar with the whole movie workflow, from pre-production to post-production. From this project, I found I still have lots of aspects that need to improve. In my opinion, the storyboard was the weakest part of the film, we did not prepare enough in the pre-production stage. It leads some transitions between the scene less rigorous. Broadly speaking, this cooperation with the crew was satisfying.
