A teenage boy that found the perfect prom date, with only one problem; is there another person with the hopes of taking the same person?

I chose to be the director for this production because from the beginning of brainstorming this I knew I wanted to handle the actual shots. I drew inspiration from the school we filmed in itself and some of the students that attend. During pre-production, I scouted out the exact locations for shooting and used those and my knowledge of shot types and their meaning to draw out the storyboard of the production.

During production, I made sure we stuck to the original schedule so shooting stayed efficient. I also made sure that the cinematographer was getting all of the different shot types we needed and was following my storyboard. We knew our story was going to have a plot twist in the end, we wanted to play with the audience, so using shots such as over the shoulder or close-ups. So, I kept thing from the audience so they didn’t know that the two boys were actually the main characters.

All of the involvement in the post-production that I had was just approving the editing and sound to make sure they fit my vision for what the film was meant to be. since all of my tasks were already completed. Being able to see my storyboard being reflected in the real film was very accurate so I felt as though I had fulfilled my roles effectively. I would have paid more attention to sound and sound recording in this film if I were redo anything; I wouldn’t plan to shoot in a full cafeteria again, and I would not have the microphone so far from the subject that the sound is coming from.
