Independent Film Project: Big Sad Carl

For me, even though I have experience with photography, this was really the first film I've gone through the whole process with, which was cool, but also very confusing. I didn't know a lot of what was going on in pre and post production, so I wish I could have had more experience and been able to contribute more to the film. I think it has a great concept, and is very funny is a strange way. We came up with the character before anything else when we were brainstorming, and thought he was very funny, and we based the film around that foundation. There was so much that we had brainstormed and wanted to do, that was outrageous and made no sense, but we couldn't do everything simply because we didn't have the time or means. We made good use of voiceovers in this which is something I've never done before and I thought was cool. A lot of the technical stuff could be better like the lighting in some shots, the editing, music in some parts, camerawork, and other things. However, the film overall definitely shows a solid effort, in my opinion, especially for our experience level.
