I Enjoyed Taking Part In This Project Because I Was Comftable As I Worked With All My Friends. The Skills I Aquired From This Short Film Was
Being A Team Player As if We Didnt Work As A Team, We Wouldnt Of Finished The Set Task.

Filming

This Part Of The Project Was Hard Because None Of The Members Of the Group Had Done This Before. It Was Everyones First Time But Considering This I Think It Was A Good Effort. I AS an Individual,Learnt That Editing Was Harder Than It Looked. I Had To Film Several Takes Before We Got It Right, Which Was Really Fustrating As We Wanted To Move Onto Other Tasks.

If We Could Do This Video Again, I Think We Would Include A Wide Range Of Shots, Camera Angles, Camera Movement And Sound.

Editing

I Think That Although The Filming Wasnt Great, The Editing Was Done To A Good Standard And Improved The Quality Of The Film Dramatically.

Characters
If We Could Film Again, I Think We Would Hire Proffesional Actors, To Make The Story Line More Realistic As In This Film The Audeince, Striaght Away No That Its Just A Short Film Made By Young Adults.

Lastly, I Think The Story Board Should Be More Detailed As Although We Had One, We Didnt Really No What We Was Doing Fully.

Overall, I Like The Movie, But There Is Alot Of Room For Improvement.

Our Last Film That We Made (Our Best One So Far!) The Skill I Aquired While Producing This Short Film Was Communication As I Realised That All The People In My Group Had To Be On The Same Page Otherwise, Everyone Would Be Doing Their Own Thing. I Think This Film Was The Hardest As It Was Our Last One And Wanted To Make It The Best. I Think Throughout The Process Ive Learnt That It Actually Is Hard To Film A Proper Film And For All The Directors That Do So We Dont Actually Realise How Much Time, Work And
Effort They Put Into Their Projects. We Take It For Granted!

The Camera Fimling Could Of Been Better!
I Think I Should Of Used A Tripod, So The Camera Was Straight And To Keep It Smooth, I Could Of Simply Just Put The Camera On A Trolley And Pushed It As The Character Moved.

Editing
I Think, Like Our Other Videos, Editing And Adding Things Like, Sound Effects And Texts Really Improves The Quality Of The Video And Makes It Really Fun To Watch.
Storyboard
Doing The Storyboard Was Hard As I Cant Draw But It Was Fun Thinking Of A Storyline And Putting My Ideas Onto Paper. It Could Of Been More Detailed, But It Turnt Out To Be A Good Guide When We Was Filming And Really Came In Handy!
Charcters
In This Film, I Think Id's Drama GCSE Really Kicked In, As Her Acting Skills In My Opinion Were Professional. The Next Time We Film, We Could Have An Audition, For People To Play Certain Characters.

Overall, A Very Good Film And The One I Enjoyed Filming The Most, Although It Was Stressful! =)
Filming

This Was The 2nd Film That We Made. I Think It Was The Worst As We Didnt Really Take It Seriously And We Ran Out Of Time! The Skill That I Aquired In The Process Of The Film Has To Be Leadership, For Next Time, Someone Has To Be In Charge Wise Everything Will Simply Crumble.

FILMING
I Actually Think The Filming Our 2nd Film Was Very Good, Considering We Ran Out Of Time And We Spent The Least Time On It. if We Could Do This Film Again, We Should Use A Stand For The Camera As Throughout The Movie The Camera Does Shake Which Reduces The Quality Of The Film.

EDITING
I Think, The Editing Enhanced The Quality Of The Film, However, I Believe Its Still Not To A Very Good Standard And I For Sure Wouldnt Pay Money To View It In A Cinema! I Learnt For Our Coursework That We Definately Need To REwind The Tape To The Begining As We Lost Our Footage For This Reason.

CHARACTERS
I Think Our Drama GCSE's Kicked In And It Was Fun Working With The Crew As It Was The First Time In Which Everyone Feautured In The Acting Side. Next Time, I Would Employ Professionals, As They Would Be More Serious And Follow The Storyline Properly.

STORY BOARD
I Think That The Story Board Should Of Been Much More Detailed As In This Film We Didnt Really Have A Organised Plan To Go By So We Ended Up Messing About And Not Filming The Whole Thing!

Overall, It Was Fun To Film But Ive Learnt That, In Media Every Aspect Has To Be Done To A High Standard To Achieve A Good Grade Otherwise You'll End Up Just Getting Your TMG! Which Isnt Cool! =)
