Prelim-Evaulation

For the start of the project we had to get into a group of 4 and plan a short 2 mintue start of a story, a script and a story board, in my group were Amber, Emma & Stevie, i did not take part of the script or story board due to being in hospital, the group had made a fantastic storyboard which helped when we were filming to show what shot came next, they had also made a good script for the 2 actors we used to use, they were Alex Hills and Josh Thompson.

Next we had to begin filming, at first it was difficult to film, we had to take a few shots before recording as it was difficult to do. Once finishing we then found out another group had recorded over our work so we had to refilm we had difficulty with this as the 2 actors had changed clothes and we had to make sure they were wearing the same clothes on each day.
We also had a good scene setting of an unused office with a table and chairs, which suited our story really well. Our group used good camera skills and shots, we had used all shots that we were told to use for example: shot reverse shot, someone opening a door, 180 degree rule & match on action.
Once we had finished the filming completely we moved on onto the editing of the film, this was a difficult task as we had cut at the wrong time of certain scenes therefore it gave it a 'jaggered' effect which we used throughout the rest of the film.
Another problem i had within the project was trying to add my own opinions as i had not been there for most of the work i found myself not doing as much work as i would have liked to.

Overall i think the film came out just as good as the group planned, but could do with some help with the editing of the film such as the camera shots and the camera shakes, I could have also helped with the start of the project with the script and storyboard but as i was in hospital i could not have helped that fact. I also found that when a next project is set, to use the same camera and same tape so people do not overlap on our work and so we do not have to loose time by re filming scenes. I would hope to avoid having the same problems i had on this project than on a next one.
