I interviewed Joel Bergman at capstone and he said that:
This week has been hell.
The one thing he wanted to change in how he did his capstone was he would have like to spend more time in postproduction and less in pre production.
He said his original idea was three levels and his final output was one.
He said with one more month he would fine tune and spend more time in postproduction.
His advice was to start as soon as possible.
This class allowed me to begin developing a firm grasp on my capstone idea. I started planning shooting and chose a partner.
The ideas presented about project development helped a lot. I really used the planning structure laid out in class.
I thought the advantage of guest speakers was more insight. It gave me a chance to hear what went right and what went wrong and what would work for me.
I thought reading everyone else’s capstone really helped to narrow what I wanted to do by eliminating my ideas that were to similar to others.
Each assignment was extremely helpful and I thought none were useless.
