This document contains weekly reflections from the production of a short film. It describes the initial planning stages, including researching other films for inspiration and developing ideas for the film's style and story. Later weeks were dedicated to pre-production tasks like surveying for feedback, equipment preparation, and creating a production plan. Filming took place, though some shots had to be adjusted due to equipment issues. Editing and evaluation followed, with reflections on making the film too complicated and receiving feedback to simplify aspects of the final video.

1. STAGE 5
PRODUCTION
REFLECTIONS
Your Name

2.  This proforma is to record how you worked on your production
 You should complete this each week during production
 Consider all relevant areas that you covered that week
 Think about what worked/what didn’t work/how you can improve
and actions for the following sessions/weeks

3.  This week we started on initial plans this was when we looked at
different short film with lots of different styles to them.
 As well as on our initial plans we looked at how we wanted our film
to feel and look like via mood boreds and looked at the style of the
films and shots
 We after mind mapping and story bordering we moved onto
deciding our story for the production

4.  This week was dedicated to research. And looking at secondary and
primary to aid us in our production.
 Looking at primary we used survey monkey to ask questions to the
public about the film we would be producing. Getting feedback on
our ideas before they are made.
 Another thing we did was looking at secondary examples and
reviews of similar projects. And from there reviewing our idea from
the product side by side.

5.  This week was set to pre production. This was where we put our
ideas into play and tried to make a fully working plan.
 We started by making a PowerPoint of the idea and proposing it to
our tutor.
 After we story bordered it and planned the shots we viewed how the
process of making the film will go and gathering crew.
 As well as getting the equipment booked out as well for the following
week of filming.

6.  This week was dedicated to filming and making
 We set off to location and had the team act out and proceed to film
the 1 minute movie. Doing this as soon as we got into the house
and start to film also.
 With filming we did this within an hour with the shots being fee hand
because unforchanatly the camera tripod wasn’t what we expected
therefor changing production but keeping the same concept.
 After filming the day after I started editing the clips together what I
did was make a big cut of the film with every shot then I reduced it
or cut bits out from certain places trying to get that minute mark
perfect. Keeping in key story aspects.

7.  We focused on evaluations this week looking over our production
and seeing what could be improved and what we would change next
time.
 In my eyes I made it too complicated with too many shots in pre-
production. Now looking back I only used 1/3 of the shots I took. And
it still made the film make sense.
 As well as looking how much views/ attention the YT video got when
it was uploaded getting feedback from that saying “it was just abit off”
mainly in the manner that its not normal for me to upload stuff like
this.
