Working/filming on my own

Why?

I decided to work on my own for various reasons, the main ones being:

  • I am able to complete tasks as and when I feel it is appropriate
  • I am able to take this project in the direction I would like to
  • Any reshoots can be achieved easily without the need to arrange a date where everyone in a group is available.


The Outcome

Although I still support my choice to work alone; it was a hard process in terms of filming, acting and directing the video without any help. This has both advantageous and disadvantageous consequences:

Advantages

  • I was forced to be creative with my filming due to a lack of resources which lead to some cool ideas
  • I was able to perform multiple reshoots quickly
  • I was able to use all my ideas and determine which influences I wanted to use


Disadvantages

  • Cinematography was quite simplistic; without dynamic camera movements - Any camera movements had to be artificially created during post production.
  • Some shots' depth of field were off (Out of focus)
  • Camera angles were limited due to a lack of a camera person and equipment.
