Unit 1 - Production logs

Production logs

Today me and my group our going for a rerun as we decided to change some scenes as we wanted to change some things that were shot. We didn't like what we shot so decided to go back to the hostile we were filming at to make the scenes better and to also add some new ones. It went very well as everybody had cooperated good. There was no arguments or anyone not wanting to work with a specific person. However, we did have problems when filming as there was always people coming into our film that we did not need which made film more time consuming as we had to keep on re-filming a specific scene. There was also noise of chatter or somebody shouting and even some people play fighting. But we were able to work through it and had filmed some very good scenes for our film. We have decided to meet next week for a final film as we have everything we need.

Production log

Today me and my group have finished filming.We have done all our editing, uploaded the video to Youtube and have added sounds and music. Our short film has come a long and is at a very good standard. All the cast who played have done well and we have made it scary. However, we have made some major changes to our film as some things did not work. Our location has changed but things have worked up well. Even though my group have made a lot of progressed and we have finished filming it did take some time. As said before everyone schedules weren't the same so meeting up made it a bit difficult, but we have been able to manage. Overall even tough sometimes we have struggled we have come a long way and have finished everything. Everyone worked well with each other, we all knew who was doing what and there was no conflict between everyone.  

Unit 22 - Pitch evaluation

Pitch evaluation 

Working title

Strengths

When pitching to the glass we were clear and concise when talking about our short film. We were detailed about what props we will use, where our location is and what type of equipment and camera angles we will use. Another strength we had was when coming up with ideas was to doing our own jobs. For example, I was in charge with coming up with the themes, what the plot is about and what props we would be using. Anastasia job was that she came up with movies that inspired us for this type of short film, where we would be filming and the equipment we would be using. This was good because we had a small group but we were able to take on some roles for each of us so we weren't wasting time. 

Another strength we had in our group was how well we worked together. There weren't any arguments which made it easier and quicker to complete our work. We also listened to each others ideas and told the other what we thought about something whether it was a bad or good. We also always improved the other ideas. For example, Anastasia came up with the idea of using ecstasy as drug that the two friends take, and I improved her idea by saying we should use the white tick tacks as our drugs so it can look real to the audience watching.  

Finally, another strength my group had was both me and my group member had a say in everything when pitching. For example, we choose power points we had a lot to say on so when presenting we didn't stutter.


Weakness 

During our pitch when we were presenting to the class my weakness were that I was slouching. I was siting on the table while talking which wouldn't really get people's attention when presenting. I needed to be more confident and stop fiddling with my hands. We also needed to add some more slides about what we would be using. For example, we never spoke about what type of sound we will use, when will we use it and what scene to use it for. This an important aspect to our short film which we never mentioned because without sound our horror wouldn't be as scaring. 

Another weakness we faced was it took long for us to come up with an idea and spent most of our time trying to figure out what we wanted to do. Our title is something we are still working on and who will be cast as well. Another weakness my group faced was that not everyone participated in the coming up with a plot and not everyone was here when coming up with ideas. This made us struggle as a group because not everyone was there to contribute. 

Another weakness we faced was when presenting our pitch to the class we were rushing ourselves as we wanted to get the presentation over with. We didn't go through our slide in detail. For an improvement next time we need to be more confident and explain our work better when presenting. Lastly a weakness of ours was we didn't talk about the movie much. For example, the plot which could've confused the audience what the short film is about due to confusing ending we have.
