This narrative essay details a student's ambitious endeavor to create a short film with friends, starting from scripting and rehearsals to the actual shoot and editing process. Despite initial enthusiasm and confidence, the film faced numerous challenges, including on-set nervousness, extended shooting schedules, and ultimately, negative audience reception on YouTube. While the cinematography and editing received praise, the direction and acting were heavily criticized. This experience served as a crucial learning opportunity, emphasizing the importance of theoretical knowledge and practical experience in film making. Motivated by the feedback, the student pursued further education in film making, leading to a more successful project with the same team three years later, which garnered over a million views.
