I Tried Film - Documentary

What it is: When Film Film was made, I intended to create a documentary to supplement it. Many were interested in shooting film, so in a way, this documentary acts as a sequel to Film Film. It documents a digital photographer trying film for the first time, goes over the development process with Timo who works at the lab, and ends with back-and-forth interviews of the two to conclude with why they shoot film.

The Editing: Production was surprisingly very smooth, and so was the editing. Thankfully everything was shot properly, the audio was satisfactory, and I had everything I needed. I had exactly an hour of footage which was then trimmed to 9 minutes. The pace of the documentary varies from chapter to chapter, and that is intentional, with Chapter 2 being the most engaging and fast-paced. Chapter 1 and 3 requires a bit more attention, and that is to give the interviewees the time they deserve to share their experiences.
