Actor always is a problem to me. In my story, there always have been many dialogues. It is a challenge to actors. A twelve minutes film, we worked seven hours on shooting. Most time I need to direct actors how to present it, how to say it, how to do it. Fortunately, my three actors did it very well. Jing Zhang, which acts Amy in the story, she has the most actor's lines and she worked very hard. Thanks to her respectable work.
There are characters in this story. Main characters are two girls, Amy and Mary. Tom looks like an outlier in this story. But he helps us to understand these complex emotion between two girls. Obviously, he is indispensable, too.
In my opinion, Mary is a very calculating girls. Though she disliked Amy very much, she still invited her to the dinner, and she never presented her loath. I do not really like these kind of girls. However, these kind of girls can be the leader(class monitor) frequently in our life.
Amy is not a very bad girl. But nobody likes her. Why? Just because she is a very selfish girl. She never really considers to invite others. And she didn't want to join in others' dinner as well because of the gifts. She is a very pitiful girl. In China, we believe poor people must have hated the place.
5. Editing
Edit work is a long time work. Because there are too many video materials need to sort out. It takes me about one week, every day I worked on it for five hours. In the beginning, I want it to be a ten minutes short film. Less than ten minutes are better. But when I edited it, I found it's really hard. If I decline it to be ten minutes, audiences maybe can't understand the story. Therefore, my first draft is a 12.45 minutes work.
And then, I realized there are many repetitive pictures appeared in among of three stories. So I begin to do the second edition work. I declined some unnecessary and repetitive pictures and edited it to be 11.30 minutes. Though it's still more than ten minutes, I consider it's the best edition.
