The 1 Minute Film Challenge
For the past 3 days, me and my 2 buddies Richy and Toy, were grouped together and was assigned by MrHarrison to create a 1 minute film. The 1 minute film can either be a recreation of a movie, a heist or an interrogation. We'd decided to go for the heist as it seemed to be the best choice yet.
The plan to shoot which shot first and at which angle was really useful when it came to shooting the actual film, we all had a brief idea of what to expect from the shot. Surprisingly, the final thing turned out what we wanted it to be!
Richy and Toy were both really good actors and their certainly on my top list of people to choose for my real coursework. They were both really energetic and are always ready to shoot every new scene. We did have a bit of help from our teacher, Mr Harrison and one of our new friend that just joined Harrow this year, his name was Kelly.

Myself, I'm the cameraman and the editor for this project; It was certainly very enjoyable to explore new camera angles with them. The project took roughly one period and a half to shoot and 5 to 6 hours to edit on Premiere Pro with some green screen effect as well.
After the recording, I've learnt something I'll never forget, that
is to check the settings on the camera correctly before shooting, at the end we
ended up with a 3:4 aspect ratio in 480p. I had a discussion with Richy whether
to reshoot the film, he said to me that "It's fine, quality of the film
doesn't matter if the final product is good enough".
During post production, I really enjoyed editing every single moment of the film, my face was full of happiness. When it comes to editing the green screen, I was thinking at first whether to include them. Since I have a lot of time, I just decided to go all out!

Here is the final edit of the film:
