Abstract:
|
The following report describes the pre -production , production , and post -production of my short -narrative thesis film .
Auto X is a short fiction film about the ramblings , arguments , and strange encounters in a day in the life of a south -side Austin auto body & tint shop . It was devised and developed through improvisation and collaboration between its four -person cast and the director . Incorporating both elements of realism , character -driven fiction , and documentary , Auto X utilizes an unconventional approach to narrative filmmaking to present a unique and textured world of characters .
The report recounts the production process in a day -by -day first -person narrative . The production account is preceded by a description of the initial planning and conceptualization of the project . In the latter half , the post -production process is presented as well as final conclusions drawn from the entire life of the project . Particular attention is paid to key filmmaking concepts and stylistic approaches that are discussed alongside the stages of production they pertain to . |
