Our film that we worked very hard on is finally done. It seems unreal because we have been talking about ıt and working on it for a long time. We named it Jouska, which means a hypothetical conversation in someones head in Japanese. It sums up the main character since the short film is about the mind journey of the protagonist and a self recreation in the process. She gets the bullies out of her head and is now free of them. The last scene was the most fun too shoot. We could see the progress in our shots and angles which made us proud. It was also a sentimental one. The film was finally, sadly, over...
My part in this film was directing.I was the one behind the camera trying to film and make sure everything went according to the plan. I also took part as a figurant in the very first scene. We mostly did everything together; planning, writing, editing... The parts we played made us differ. I learned very much about the behind-the-scenes and directing. Nothing is as easy as it looks. As Alan Parker said: "You make three films. One when you write it, one when you shoot it and one when you cut it together in the editing. With luck they are not too dissimilar from one another." Altogether we are happy with the result but it is not what we started with in our minds. Directing was also a great oppurtunity to learn about myself. It might have even affected my decision about my major.
