PLANNING AND RESEARCH
To organise what characters were going to do and
say I used Script buddy in order to create a
professional looking script for my film. This meant
that II used Wordpress.com for edit blog make any

meaning that I was able to upload my work directly
from slideshare to my blog.
For my reccee shots I used my ipod touch camera
which provided me with images that I could use in
proving that the sites I was going to use would be
sufficient for my film.
CONSTRUCTION
I have used Adobe Premiere pro CS3 to edit my film
on a PC. This is a print screen of my editing in
action. I have found the software relatively easy to
use and edit my film successfully although it has
been slow to start up initially and has sometimes
displayed my work as being ‘offline’ causing only
minor disruption to my film.
2. Here is the equipment that I have used to shoot the
film. I used the tripod frequently as the shots I
needed had to be still so that the audience weren’t
distra=cted from what they were intended to watch. I
was able to shoot my film easily with little difficulty

to create an account which I used throughout this
coursework.
Most of the lighting that I used for most of the scenes
were natural and artificial lighting in the form of ceiling
lights which was all I needed. However there were times
I needed a ‘spotlight’ for the character. This meant that
in the bedroom scenes I used a light similar to this to
light up the character more in the dark room. I found
this useful as I could place the flexible light almost
anywhere I wanted because it could clip onto any
surface as well as the bright LED light which worked
perfectly as a spotlight for the shot.
EVALUATION
I used this camera’s video function in order to
record my voice and create the director’s cut
and to explain why the ancillary tasks and
main task are combined effectively. This was
the easiest way to do it as it was simple to
upload onto my computer via an SD card slot.
As I didn’t have access to the school software
over the holidays I used windows movie maker
to edit my directors commentary and show the
effectiveness of the combination of ancillary and
main tasks together. This wasn’t an issue as
there was little editing that was needed to do.
