During this whole module time I was able to practice on all fields and improve my skills significantly; I had to work with different people who have distinct personalities, thinking, way of working and seeing the life, less or more experience in this industry and even though sometimes was quite hard or stressful to complete a task working with them, I believe that this helped me realize and convinced me that I can't really trust people, not even when it's a school project.
When we've first been introduced the experimental type of film, I surely enjoyed it from all aspects, as I believe that it gives you more freedom when it comes to ideas and techniques, but also it's a great way to start your filmmaker life and experiment what attracts you the most (sound, camera, edit, etc.).
Although we had to work in pairs, the last film (Outsider), I had to entirely produced it myself and I'm glad it happened like this, since I loved the concept and subject matter, but I was also able to take my time and use any techniques and approaches that I wanted to.
Documentary was clearly interesting to make and it required a lot of hard work and time management, but this didn't bother me at all. Along with this, I had the opportunity to visit another city, to work with new people and to experiment the life of a filmmaker more and the stress and entertainment that comes with it.
For this task, I consider learning more about directing (outside the film set as well), producing (even though I wasn't the producer, but a project manager, I took my time to watch Dominic's work precisely), time limit, socialization and the importance of a good subject.
I totally loved working for the drama exercise, since I could clearly see that teamwork values a lot in such cases and also that finding people who can understand your way of thinking, or better, that see the world like you, can create a better harmony in the team.
Although it had to be only an exercise, I believe that I wanted to be more ambitious and serious about it and try to bring it to higher standards, which I hope I slightly did. Moreover, I have to admit that it was way more stressful and complicated than the documentary task, I had to put more effort and time, to think in a different way (more creatively, outside the box, quick and precise at times) and speaking about directing, this time I felt I actually did my job properly and effortlessly.
To conclude, this module helped me contriving ideas and concepts, helped me build more experience with regards of filmmaking, showed me various possibilities of how to start a film and how to have a divergent thinking and since I had to speak a lot (on and outside the film set, during the presentation days, etc.), I believe that it came really handy for me to improve my English and enrich my vocabulary as well.
