EVALUATION

3.  Within my research I did numerous things to ensure my product
had enough background research and detail so that I could do my
product to the best of my ability.
 I started with Primary research- this involved me creating a
survey monkey questionnaire, to send to my peers for them to
answer so I could apply the results to my production. The strengh
in this was that I could ask direct questions to my target audience
and therefore apply it to my production. However I wish I could
have done a second follow up interview to get more in detail
answers.
 Within my secodonary research I found some similarities and
differences between a sample, for example I found that the
demograpghics was difference between males and females. In
reflection I wished I had gone in to more detail when evaluating
my work with annotations.

4.  For planning I did various things to make sure my production
was planned as possible to do this I came up numerous things
to do.
 Firstly this was making a shot list for my camera work. I made
sure they were synced up with my story board to create
continuity. However I wish I had done this in more detail so
that whilst filming it actually worked shot wise better.
 I also made a time schedule to make my production work more
smoothly. However this again should have been done in more
detail for the future shooting of my short film.

5.  For my whole film planning, research, filming and everything
involved took around 4 weeks.
 I felt that I made sure that my filming process went especially
well as I managed to book the camera and tripod and other
equipment for a day. I intern I filmed all the footage in one day
so I felt I managed this section of my production time wise
efficiently.
 However I wish that I managed to complete my evaluation in
time as I had to do this over half term, although it got
completed I was glad that I got it done. As I found it the most
difficult section of my production.

6. TECHNICAL QUALITIES –
CAMERA

9. In my final piece I was overall happy with my piece as I had never
done a short film before however I felt there was pros and cons to
both. I felt that my various shots I did had a wide range for a beginner
I also liked how I tried to use different camera angles to create
something different for my audience to watch and so that I could
achieve the best grade as possible.
However I wasn’t to sure on the lighting I used in my piece for
example in my short film I felt it was noticeable in my short film that
the lighting changed as it went through out the day from light to dark.
I feel this was a big fault in my work. If I were to do another short film
I will ensure that my work/lighting has contingency throughout. I also
feel that aesthetically the costumes for my piece could have been
vastly improved.
