TOP 5 things I learned from making my first feature film
This is what I love the most about making movies; working with other creative people towards a common goal. Everyone has good ideas and the majority of your cast and crew will genuinely want your movie to be great. Be open minded and receptive to other people’s input. Everyday while filming Bend & Break I used ideas from everyone in the cast and crew. The sound mixer (with the bad attitude) gave me a great idea for a shooting angle in a scene. I used it. A few of the actors gave me some great suggestions on how to edit a specific scene. I will used their ideas.
In the end, the thing that I learned the most from the whole experience was that no matter how bad things may seem or how many obstacles that you might face. If you just focus on shooting one page at a time and keep moving forward. Your movie will get done.
To Your Success!
