I have a cheesy notebook like that... What kind of film did you shoot this on?

Trevor Greenfield · February 26, 2005

While I'm not a fan of this kind of story, and I did notice the small production flaws (hair on the lens a couple of times, odd cuts occasionally), I think your direction and angles were fantastic. I also can very much respect that you shot this on film and not DV. Nice Job overall.

I think DV would have better fit this project. Being black and white I dont think format really matters. However, here is tha famous..

"OK Film.... VERY Amaturish though." Not enough dolly moves and the acting is rather boring. The lighting is also vert flat."

Steve,

Very interesting, nice job. Not my kind of topic, but nice camera work and I too would like to commend you on using film. A couple of shots looked like they were from an old Bolex I had, the exposure was flickering from shutter bounce, a common Bolex issue. I disagree with the post that said it would have been just as good shot on DV. I think the way you shot it on Black and White film, and the lighting, gave it its most appealing aspect. That dirty, gritty, sometimes out of focus look.

Are you a film student? Planning on being a director? A cinematographer? I think your film shows some real promise. Good luck.

Again, good choice of film as opposed to DV. For this project, film wins out, hands-down. Good job. I especially liked the shots with the girl, outside.

Can you give some specs on the film? Cam, Film, Process, editing? Just curious!

One thing I would recommend to you (as in, if you choose to make this type of film again) is to slow the pacing down by a lot. One of the pitfalls of making "art films" that do obscure things it that they often try to convey too much "conceptual depth" in too little time.

Other than that, I also applaud that you worked with film.

yes. thanks. i am always worried that everything gets too boring. and being a short i don't feel i have the time to slow down in the way i would if i was making a feature. very challenging. did you find it obscure? i feel it might be too direct.

thanks
