Draft 1 - Reflections


this is the full finished version of my groups first draft. titled reflections linking in with the narrative of the film. Beginning filming was a bit problematic, as someone was late so we wasted a lot of time at the beginning of the day. This then meant that filming couldn't be done on one day as thought and had to run on into two days. To correct this, we should agree to be very strict with our timings and all make sure we stick to responsibilities and understand that other members are relying on each other. Aside from that, filming went very well, we stuck to the story board and worked together. We fulfilled the roles that we picked at the start of the year and took turns to film. Editing wise I put together the main body of work on a tuesday, after school. It took about 2 hours then the rest of the group came the next day and we finished the few remaining bits like adding music. I have learned that I do not like waiting around for people and would rather start early that start late e.g. 1/2pm in addition to this i dont mind working alone to get the work done and meet the deadlines in good time, although it is better if we work as a group.

ASSESSMENT!

WHAT WENT WELL?

  • variety of shots

  • no time for voiceover, so not all the music matched
  • make the dad character clear
  • make the father drink something more harsh instead of beer
  • shaky camera
  • teddy bear/phone= too obvious/cheesy
  • short
  • change credits, the current ones seem like the end of a film
  • change/adapt music
