Description: For this project my group was tasked with creating an original short film. We decided to make a comedy between two characters who mishear each other when their phone call goes in and out. For this project I was the most experienced member of my group so I wanted to give everyone else a chance to fulfil the more sought after roles such as directing and DP. However I still wanted to be as involved as possible so I elected to be the assistant director as well as the gaffer for this piece. While this project has turned out fine so far, I do not believe it is an accurate representation of the level of skill and knowledge I currently possess as a gaffer. But at the same time, there is only so much I can do when the other members of my group don’t want to spend the time to improve upon the lighting.
