In this project I was the main character Wolf. The film was about Wolf's final job where he carried out a homicide task and finally died in the forest. The role of Wolf was defined as a man with silence and being a little bit cool. During the acting process, the first thing I thought about was how to make the character more real .As the main actor, I played the killer who was very calm and very good at martial arts. Wolf was going to kill three different persons Pig 1, Pig 2 and Pig 3.
When killing Pig 1, Wolf used Chinese Kung Fu to counter boxing. My role in this part was not only an actor but also an action adviser. I taught my team member how to punch and kick, and how to fall down on the ground and keep safe during the fight. I tried my best to make the fight more real and more sensible. I think the only imperfection of the part is that I changed the design of actions for so many times that the filming had to last longer.
The other two parts are sword fight and gun fight. Apart from designing the actions and movements and acting, I tried to inform the camera person of the right places that he should stand in so that he was able to catch the image and take closeup shots better. In both parts, the range of our movement was too wide for the camera person to know the best perspective, therefore, I informed him of the details of our next actions and movements.
After filming, I participated in the editing of the footage although i was not quite familiar with those many video editing programmes. However, I was very satisfied with the excellent movie poster and DVD cover of which I was the sole designer.
Overall this project went smoothly and I leaned a lot from it. What I think I can improve in the future is that I can work out a more detailed plan for actions and movements in order to save time for filming. Also, I need to become proficient in various editing softwares to avoid vanishing of my inspirations.
