1. Evaluation of equipment used
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 I could use the
website to edit and make any additional
changes as I continued with my
coursework and changed ideas which
could then be added to my blog.
I used Wordpress.com for my blog as I
had previously used this blog for AS and
found that I was very easy to use and
organise my work into categories. I found
using a blog to host my media
coursework useful as I could use any
computer and even my phone to update
my coursework easily.
I found that Slideshare was very useful to
use to show information about my
coursework on my blog as it had a
customised code for my blog website
meaning that I was able to upload my
work directly from slideshare to my blog.
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.
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
distracted from what they were intended
to watch. I was able to shoot my film
easily with little difficulty other than not
getting the shot right and occasionally
end up with continuoity errors which
needed re-shooting to get the result I
needed.
I had to use Youtube in order to upload
my videos and film, this is because it was
the easiest option to use a link from my

2. blog which makes it easy to view the film
by clicking the link. To uplaod videos I
had 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.
