REVIEWING MY FILM

Production Process

Overall, i believe the production process went well as we managed to stick to our storyboard/plan and were very time efficient when it came to the filming and the editing. We had to film a few shots a number of times due to lens flare , poor continuity etc but eventually we were pleased with the footage that we obtained over the filming process. In regards to editing, i took the lead role and took it upon myself to do almost all of it and i am very pleased with the outcome as it demonstrates and displays the hard work that was put in to making our film.

Variety Of Shots Used

Quality Of Footage

For a lot of our shots we decided to use the tripod, simply because if we would have held the camera it would have been terribly shaky. Even when i was moving with the camera (filming the over the shoulder shots) i still kept the camera on the tripod, again just to keep the camera as steady as possible. After creating the film/trailer i think that i probably could have filmed a few extra clips purely in order to make the trailer better, however we only had a limited amount of time and so we felt slightly rushed in terms of recording time. Overall though i can happily and proudly say that i am happy with what my group and i accomplished considering it was the first time we had even used the equipment and software but obviously there are many things on which we can improve upon. Our actual trailer itself has a pretty poor story line and so this would definitely have to be planned better next time as some of our shots were just simply made up on the spot.
