2. Planning stage
Before we started to film the project, our group had to
set out a formal plan explaining what shots was going
to be in each scene and what our project would consist
off. In my opinion, this went very well as we created a
great idea on what the story would be based on. This
meant we could get straight onto producing the film.
We created a storyboard which went great and then
gave each one of our group members roles and set
tasks for the project.
3. Time Management
We organised our time effectively as we had enough time to
plan the production, film the production and then edit the
whole project in the deadline set. Within my group, we had
set different days which was just focused on certain bits of
the production. For example, we booked out a room where
we could film the project but we was only allowed one hour
in that specific area. This is where we worked together and
filmed in the scenes within that time scale of an hour which
was set. In my opinion this was very efficient and helped our
group have more time to edit the film.
4. Group Dynamic
As a whole, I believe me and my group worked well together,
helping each other out with any task the other individuals didn’t
understand. Even though we all had different roles to play, we
helped each other to try and make our production the best it can
be. When it came to editing our film, we all took it in turns to
add new features in and make it the best quality. This is also
where we worked as a team as we needed to all learn how to
use Premiere Pro as we will all be using it in future projects.
5. Effective shots or use of
editing software
We used a range of shots throughout the film e.g. low shot, mid
shot, shot/reserve shot etc. This made the film flow and look
more effective when changing from different scenes. We used a
close up when one of the characters was opening the door, this
created suspense on the audience on what might be behind the
door. While editing the project, we used a lot of affects to make
the production look more effective, we also added in sound to
create tension and anticipation.
6. Finished Version
Overall, I believe our production of ‘Finding Toby’ was a great
success for it being our first project. We have learnt a new set of
technical skills when filming shots and scenes which will come
into great practice when shooting different projects. We did a
lot of editing which improved our film and created it to look
realistic as well as have that gloomy look about it, as we wanted
to have an affect of apprehension on the audience. I believe as a
whole, my group worked at a high standard.
