I chose not to do a dissertation for my final year at university as I felt the modules would be more beneficial in the future. I also wanted to use my extra time to gain valuable hands-on experience, like taking control of Theatre Society.
Filming our one-minute showcase was an eye-opening experience, it took six hours to film which gave me a real understanding of the time and attention to detail that is required on set. I’ll consider this if I ever decide to use multimedia in future projects. Every shot needed careful planning such as adjusting the camera angles and lighting as well as making sure there was continuity between each take. This whole process taught me the contrast between stage and screen performance, where multiple takes are necessary to get the perfect shot. It also reinforced the importance of collaboration and patience, as each team worked hard together to bring the vision to life, and I believe we successfully achieved this.
