Making a short film is like baking a pie—an incredibly difficult, yet hopefully, tasty pie. Step one is pre-production: acquire and organize funds and utensils. Step two is production: use the tools and ingredients gathered, and follow the recipe (script) as closely as possible. And step three is post-production: put the mixed ingredients together and place into the oven. It’s safe to say that I was really looking forward to step three. Pre-production and production were very difficult and rewarding parts of my degree program, but post-production is where I can finally see the hard work put together into a coherent story. Apart from seeing the thesis film come together, I was truly looking forward to learning concepts and technical skills that will better my future films and projects.

Editing has always been one of my favorite parts of the filmmaking process. I’m a sound and music guy, so I think that picture editing pairs well. Like milk and pie (sorry, no more talk of pie. I think I’m just hungry). Having primarily experienced the director’s chair in the past, I’ve always tried to picture the film as an editor. My films haven’t always come out exactly how I pictured them, but thinking this way has always seemed to help me during production, as well as for post.

Thinking strictly as an editor is a rather different way of thinking. It takes a certain set of skills to put films together—a lot of times thinking of creative ways to tell the story, which not even the director pictured. It’s like being given a puzzle, in which almost every piece is connectable. A puzzle like that requires a very specific kind of eye. And in order to be successful as an editor, it’s very important to keep storytelling at the forefront of the process. Learning the importance of storytelling was one of the best things that I learned this past month. It seems like a no-brainer, but when editing a film it’s very easy to put things like continuity and composition first. While those are incredibly important aspects with which to focus, the story is always key. At the very least, this is how I feel the editing process should be tackled.

Month nine was the month for which I had been waiting. After many months of preparation, I had finally come upon the very reason I chose to pursue a career in filmmaking: production. While I do consider this to have been one of my most challenging months at Full Sail, I breathe a sigh of relief because I no longer have a chronic case of anxiety. From the moment I found out that my script was chosen for my class’s thesis film and I would be the director, I’ve had what seemed like a never-ending wrench in my gut. No matter how hard I tried to relax, that constant feeling of unease haunted me. In fact, it only intensified until the moment we wrapped production. I did not have an easy month, but it was my most rewarding, thus far.

Looking back, it’s safe to say that my anxiety was most likely caused by my fear of unpreparedness. It was my directorial debut for a project that had a budget worth more than a stack of pizzas. I had moments in which I felt I was in over my head. But as the director, I couldn’t show that to my peers. As such, I had to just suck it up and get the job done. But there was absolutely no way this film would be worth anything without the help and dedication of a team. In other words, I had to just suck it up and do my job (the director’s job). For the first time since enrolling at Full Sail, I was on a team that required every single person to play his or her role. The most I could do for any other role was to let them know what I was going to do. Other than that, lights were in the hands of the Gaffer; the amazing Art team created the set and electricity was handled by the Best Boy. From the moment production started, I could only do my job. The unrivaled crew for “Rubbish” handled the rest, with incredible precision.

The first month of this program required for me to create a mastery timeline for the entire course. My hopes for this class were high and I can say that I met almost all of my goals. The first intention that I had for this class was to confidently know how direct a film and its crew. I can wholeheartedly say that I have much more confidence towards film directing after this month. The production of “Rubbish” was met with almost every problem imaginable. Yet, at the end of the day, what the crew and cast filmed on camera will tell a story. And that’s what is most important: the story. After having worked through so many problems, I am able to identify what I can do to better prepare myself for future projects. Also, I know how to properly communicate with all of the departments on the crew. My second goal was to know how to delegate throughout my team and to know how to collaborate with the department heads. My understanding of this topic goes hand-in-hand with my first goal. In being prepared as a director, I must also know the responsibilities of each department. Since being on a large set for thesis I can confidently say I have a great understanding of almost every position on a production. However, every set is run differently, in and out of Hollywood. But this experience gives me a great frame of reference for when I move on to larger shoots.
