During the course of our module we were given different poems from a local writers group to interpret in our own way through making a short 2 minute film.
Our groups plan was to follow the story of a traveller who meets Norse god, Odin, who tells him about a story of a great battle passed. We started the project perhaps too ambitious and planned to film at Kirkstall Abbey and was going to include a full array of people for specific rolls in the film. As well as using animals too. Our contacts for the project however proved unreliable.
This meant we had to simplify our idea and decided to use animation to tell the story. Although this has proved more simple and the work load was enough to get through with relative ease, the group was not co ordinated and lacked proper communication.
In my personal opinion I believe the saying that working with friends on filming projects leads to trouble is not true. Not in all cases. And I think that myself and my group would have benefitted more from working with people who they could communicate with more easily as well as sharing more common interests.
