Photo Story
Over the coarse of a month and a half, I was given full access to the behind the scenes process of making a short film. Penn State Film major, Mikey Schoenfeld was the mastermind behind the project and was ultimately completing it for his final senior project. Schoenfeld served as both the director and producer throughout the process. The film is based on a boy who doesnt realize how much a girl likes him because he is too consumed with his camera. The photos I took exemplify all aspects of the project, from editing to filming. I also tried to capture the highs and lows that went along with making the entire film.
