 Our main problem we experienced throughout
filming was time. We didn’t leave ourselves with a
lot of time which meant we had to rush to create a
project in a short period of time meaning we didn’t
leave time to reflect and look at what we could add
to improve. This was an issue as it was a barrier
preventing us to release the best content we possibly
could.
Problems – Time
Management

 Another issue we had was the battery life of the
cameras in school. Whilst filming, the battery died
on us several times causing us to find another
battery from another camera which caused us to stop
filming and slowed us down at times. We resolved
this by exchanging batteries with other cameras that
had full battery allowing us to film for longer.
Problems – Battery

 The tripods we used were either to stiff or unsteady,
which affected our cinematography as we couldn’t
film the shots as smoothly as we wanted to. When
filming our establishing shot the camera was stiff so
trying to tilt the camera and making it look smooth
was difficult. We tackled this by retrying multiple
times until we felt it was good enough.
Problems – Tripod

 We used Photoshop to create the logo for our
production company. We have 4 members in our
group so we decided to create 4 draft logos and go
with the one we thought would look best for our
movie.
Software – Photoshop (CS5)

 My group and I used Final Cut Pro as it was
recommended by our teachers and is a very popular
editing software created by Apple. It worked very
well for us as we were able to put together our
cinematography and audio and sync them together
with ease. It was fairly simple once we got used to it
and had a wide range of effects that allowed us to
improve our film.
Software – Final Cut Pro

 Our school had Apple Mac computers which was
very useful as they are very fast which allowed us to
use software with no issues. Without this we
wouldn’t have been able to edit and create our
movie.
Hardware – Apple Mac

 I knew what I had to do and how much effort it would
require as I did Media at GCSE level and had created and
edited a movie previously. Also, I have experience with
making videos/edits/logos for YouTube so I familiarised
myself with editing software and Adobe products as I
used them a lot in my own time. I knew creating a movie
would take a lot of work because I would have to think of
a narrative, then make sure it is something an audience
would actually like to watch, then record it all in a way
that is appealing such as a range of shots etc and finding a
suitable location and use mise-en-scene to show off my
movie.
Did I know how much effort was
needed to create a media product?

 I would definitely improve cinematography and add
a wider range of shots such as close ups and low
angle shots. Close ups to show the actors’ emotions
clearly some low angle shots to show who is in
power. I would also change the location to
somewhere that isn’t our school just so it adds a
more realistic essence to our movie.
