For this assignment I have to write a 5 page paper reflecting on my experience as the art director for for a student production that was filmed back in January of this year. I chose to be the art director because of my creative eye and my passion for bringing written things to life through visual aspects. However I didn’t have the best experience as the art director because of the team that I worked with. Oftentimes the production designer on my team was extremely unprepared and didn’t put their best foot forward to help with the art of the set. This made my experience difficult. The aspect of production in general was very different from what I expected. I used to believe production was just lights, camera, action. But during this intense week I learned what is actually took to make a show come about. I learn all of the roles and I know for the future what my interest are. Despite my struggles I feel that I did my best and put my best foot forward as the art director for the student production. I am grateful for this experience and everything that I learned about what behind the scenes actuall entails.
