OUR FILM JAM EXPERIENCE

The creative process

Group separation

STRENGTHS

We made sure to follow the creative process

Split into two teams to work more effectively.

Each member's strengths contributed uniquely: directing, idea generation, and soundscape creation

Michael Pitt: “A single room can be shot from a million angles in a million ways.

Generation

We collectivly deceided on our roles and finalised our idea
