1. “The Bad Day”
2. A woman has a bad day at work that continues to her home. It finally culminates into a display of…frustration.
3. Every movie I’ve ever seen.
4. Frustration
5. The woman starts off at work and is overloaded with work to do. It becomes so much work that she eventually leaves. She goes home, where things continue to go wrong. Throughout the piece, the woman is seen on a balcony, and in the end smashes her frustration on the ground.
6. The theme ended up pretty much what we expected it to. The woman gathers all of her frustration up into a single act, and releases it all in that act.
7. The strengths of the film lie in it’s sound. Most of the film is silent, but for ambience, other than the one moment of tremendous sound. The space could also be considered a strength, since we had a lot of space for the character to walk in, creating some longer walk shots.
8. I think our issues, and I’m the main one at fault for this, was not having a clear idea of exactly what we wanted going into the shots. I would set up shots right before shooting them, with little to no idea that those shots were going to exist even ten minutes before.
9. It takes a long freakin’ time to set up equipment. Especially that first time when we spent around 1-2 hours getting everything ready. By the end of the day we were setting up the equipment much faster, but we still ended up shooting film all the way up til midnight when we started the day at around 11 a.m. I have a much better idea of how much time it takes to set up a shot, so now I can have the character do things such as take off her heels in between shots that will take longer to set up. I can’t think of anything else we discovered, other than that a office room can get really dirty really quick. Also, it is possible to leave a place you made dirty exactly the way you found it.
