This project was so much fun for me. I have always wanted to shoot on real film stock, and it was a wonderful learning experience being able to shoot on 35 mm film. Although it would have been nice to use motion picture film stock, it was much easier being able to shoot with photography stock. That way it would not be as expensive if we screwed up one of the shots.
Overall, our group did a wonderful job. We enjoyed the photos we took, but we did not realize how centered all of our photos were while shooting because we were so focused on getting everything right with the camera. Although it took a bit of learning and tinkering, everyone in our group did a wonderful job, with each one of us getting some wonderful shots.
If I could change anything about our project, I would have focused on getting more unique shots. We had good color depth and composition, but our photos lacked interest within the frame with most of our subjects being in the dead center of the frame. If we would have played with different framing more, I feel like we would have gotten a better overall grade. Oh well, what is done is done. Maybe next time I will focus on getting more unique shots.
In conclusion, film stock is amazing and I want to shoot on film for the rest of my life. Digital cameras are a wonder and joy to use, but being forced to think about the logistics behind every shot makes me appreciate the art of cinematography that much more.
