The student provided a self-evaluation of their contributions during the pre-production, production, and post-production stages of creating a film for a class project. During pre-production, the student created storyboards and incorporated feedback to revise them, and attended meetings, but felt they could have been more involved in writing the script. In production, the student operated the second camera and had a role as an actor, helped with camera positioning, and ensured equipment was packed up properly. During post-production, the student matched cuts to the beat of the song during editing, but felt more shots could have been captured as a group.

1. Self-Evaluation
Per-production
During the pre-production of the film my main contribution to the group was
the creation of the storyboard and changing it when asked my drawing skills. I
followed my instructions and tasks that the group leaded gave out. I turned up
to every meeting on a Monday morning. I feel I could have improved on my
involvement in the writing of the scriptand not justthe ideas behind it. I also
should have pressured myself to complete work to a higher standard to make
it easier for the rest of my group as they would have had to change less of my
work. My punctuality to lessons was poor in the pre-production and I would be
late to receive my task for the lesson. Some task’s that I was given I did not
complete and I felt less partof the group.
Production
During the production of the film my main roles werethe second camera
operator and acting as Philip Barnes. As I was not in mostof the video I helped
with the positioning and using of the camera more. My other roles included
continuity manager and checking shots matched up, although I felt as though I
could have done a better
job at continuity checks as
during the editing process
I noticed parts that didn't
match up during cuts
which were hard to edit
round.

During the filming I set up and packed away the tripod and made surethat the
camera was properly level for each shotI was successfulatthis as none of the
shots in the film were lopsided. I carefully packed up the equipment after each

2. shooting and made surethat it wentback the way it came out of the packet
when the camera was given back it was not damaged or missing any pieces
which was a positive.
Postproduction
Finally when we started editing each of us took turns in the main chair of the
editing suite so that we all had a fair amount of time putting the video
together. My main role during editing was matching the cuts to beats of the
song. The cutting to the beat was on time which was a plus. I think that we
could have done moreshots as a group as when it came to the editing process
there was a lack of shots for match cuts and other types of cuts to show a
range of editing skills in the video. Like per production I found myself turning
up late to some of the lessons at the start of editing but I changed and started
arriving early and making up lost time by coming in my free time.
