Preliminary Task - Final Evaluation

With our task, I feel that we learnt quite a lot from the Preliminary Task. We did come up against quite a few problems such as the amount of footage as we felt it was too short for the Preliminary Task. I think that together we worked well as a group, bringing in lighting for our piece as well as using a script and quick shots to make it look and be as professional as we could for our first task filming.

Another problem we faced was the filming as we did not have enough footage, especially the start of the storyboard shots as we needed one of the actors to film the scenes in the room first, as she was needed elsewhere. This was a problem, but we did not overcome that part of it. However, we filmed the first few scenes according to the storyboard, apart from one close up of my hand upon the door which was lost during the transition from the camera to computer and there was not enough time to go back and re-film it or find it as other parts needed to be edited too. That was the most major issue we had as the filming needed to be completed to the deadline, regardless of one shot gone. I think we made the film well regardless of it and next time, when filming the Thriller, planning our filming time will be done more carefully in order to overcome these problems.

The planning and brainstorming really helped us with the task and I think we really benefited from it, talking and planning amongst ourselves to get the best idea possible. We did face a few problems but together, me and Alexandra overcame them and worked around them to get the best possible result with our Preliminary Task.

For the final quality of the film, I think we have produced it to a fairly good level of work and we tried to get the best result possible with our shots and working the camera. Apart from the few problems we faced, I think myself and Alexandra worked well together as a team.
