Post-production and project material

Through the editing process, our filming and material selection has improved. And most important and interesting feature of our project, is the material we now have to play around with when construction Yianni. The rough sketch of constructing Yianni looks like this:

-Establishing Yianni: the part of the beginning of and dreams of being a filmmaker, the best friend Nick and the constant presence of the talking brother Michael.

-Yianni the filmmaker and the self: the philosophical part of filmmaking process, issues and the language of film analysis and critique on film making for products. This part also includes what a filmmaker thinks of another filmmaker.

-A filmmaker and the real life: this part finalizes the documentary and will show the paradoxes, controversial and ethical issues within the filmmakers real life, and he actually feels about it and why.


This construction happened after we got feedback on the material and observing the clips and Yianni in real life. The selection is not randomly or historically made, but this is what we have captured in the weeks of filming ‘Yianni.Fin’. There are some technical issues that we are able to fix and I thought it was our fault that mic gain or lens issues happened and we felt like failures, so strongly wanting to our best. This meant more than TV1 and serendipity. The experience from real life of production during my work placement suddenly reminded me of why we are students some are second and some third years. The mentor was right – ‘see that is why you guys go and do Higher Education. You guys do things and errors that you learn from. Why mistakes occur is because you guys know what went wrong and they will never happen again’. He was right.
