Questions for film project

6. After reviewing your footage and completing the rough cut of your film, describe any aspects of your film, which need to be addressed. i.e does your group need to reshoot any scenes; are any additional shots required; are there any scenes which worked better than expected.

Overall, i believe our film was good in terms of shooting it accurately. No additional shots were required and i think our film shows the storyline through the camera shots.

7. List any skills, techniques or tricks you have discovered during the project.

I've learned how to use imovie and to cut film and put it in a scene so it flows better. I've learned to act as i was in the film, but i still may need to work on my acting skills. I've learnt how to work in a group better and i've learned about the importance of storyboards. These are just a few of the skills, techniques and tricks i've learnt during this assignment.

8. Discuss whether you undertook adequate and detailed reflection to throughout your project. Have you provided enough evidence to support your work? (Look back at your blogs/journals and think about whether it looks like 6 weeks worth of work).

I haven't been actively writing in my blog during this project which is bad because i can't reflect on what i've learnt and how much i've done each week. I didn't give detailed reflection throughout my project. I believe this was a mistake and next time i will be writing reflections throughout the filming and editing.

Discuss your feelings about the production task:
9. Are you satisfied with your groups final result?

Yes i am. We got good footage and our storyline flowed when we made the movie on imovie. I believe we could've come up with a more interesting storyline but overall i am very satisfied with our final result.
10. Would like to change any aspects of your film?

I'd probably change the story up a bit, make it scary instead of the comedy drama it is now. Other than this, theres no aspect i would change.
11. If you could start the project again what would you do differently?

I would be a bit more organised from the beginning and on top of things instead of leaving it so late. I would've had a say in the storyline and changed it up a bit. And i wouldn't have acted in it because i really am the worst actress and I was smiling all through it.

Creative Media Assignment

1. Describe any problems or difficulties your group encountered during the planning. These may include; organizational problems, group related issues, etc.

The main problem I faced was coming late into the group because of exchange. This made it harder for me to catch up with the plan of the movie and put ideas into the movie. I came in when the story board had already been made so I didn't have a choice of the story in the film. Then we all had trouble seeing each other on weekends or after school to get the footage. We went on for quite a while without film and it was not good because during class we had nothing to work on. Soon Laura and I caught up and got all the footage we needed and we resolved out problem. Other than this main problem, we didn't encounter any other. We couldn't film as a whole group because our reliability on one of our group members was low.

2. Clarify any time-management issues your group encountered during the planning process and describe the steps you implemented to improve in this area;

Some time management that our group encountered was our filming. We couldn't organise the time to take off and do all our filming. But we soon set out a day and accomplished what we needed.

3. Discuss whether your group made effective use of the provided templates to assist the film-making process;

Our group did make effective use of the provided templates to assist us in making our film, and it helped us quite a bit.

4. Explain whether the planning process helped your group during filming. In particular, discuss whether the use of devices such as storyboards, shot-lists, and rough edits assisted throughout the filming process;

Planning the story in storyboard before shooting our film helped us a lot. We knew exactly what shot to film after each one, remembered the storyline and helped us keep on track instead of forgetting where we were up too and what to film next. It gave us a clear idea on our film. The film would not be as good as it would've without the storyboard. Also we played around with the film before which helped a bit too to get use to filming and how to handle the camera and get the best angles and shots.
