Planning Process:
- Story board
- Script
- Shot list
- Prop list
- Treatment scaffold
What did the planning process involve?
The process involved us creating a storyboard depicting the different shots, the type of shot and what was happening in each one, also duration's for each shot were written down. Having a storyboard was really helpful as it was crucial in helping us make a plan in what order to film the shots which saved a lot of time when we were filming. We also made a Script for our actresses, so they didn't have to improvise and the structure of the dialogue is how we wanted it. It was very helpful for them as they knew what type of character they were playing. The third task was a shot and prop list, telling us what type of shots we needed to shoot and the props that we would need to bring in so we could be organized on the day. The last thing we included was a treatment scaffold. The treatment scaffold consists of our film synopsis, character descriptions and film techniques we were going to use.
How did the planning benefit me?
The planning benefited me greatly, it made me feel more confident and calm as i knew what i was doing, when i was doing it and how i was doing things. it made us prioritize all tasks and helped us work together as a group efficiently and without any problems.
PRODUCTION:
Production Process:
- Plan
- Film
- Edit
Did everything go according to plan?
Personally, I don't think everything did, mainly because it was very difficult for us to find time when we were all free so that we could film, if we were all our free, we couldn't find actresses that were free. in addition because we couldn't find time together, we left filming quite late and because of this we didn't take enough time to make sure that we had all the shots we needed. our final piece was much shorter than we expected because of this. also we had some footage that we couldn't find anywhere so this also contributed to making it much shorter than we expected. this may be because we were using adobe for the first time and weren't exactly confident as to how it works.
TECHNOLOGY:
What new technologies did I encounter in this process?
What new skills will be beneficial moving forward throughout this course?
Knowing how to use a camera
learning how to edit
How to use the extra equipment
PROBLEM SOLVING:
What went wrong?
How did we solve any problems we encountered?
One of our actors could no longer be in our film so we had to recast, we had already filmed clips with her in it and for the remaining shots we needed a replacement, at such short notice we couldn't find anyone.
This wasn't a big problem as she was wearing a mask and we hadn't filmed any clips of her speaking so anyone could replace her part, so Hannah (group member) volunteered and played the part.
It was really difficult to find time together as a group and with our actors to film, this therefore prolonged the filming process and we didn't finish all of our filming for the deadline for editing. This meant that we had to start editing much later as we didn't have enough footage to edit.
In addition to this, a lot of our footage got lost, we're not really sure what happened to it but because we were already late for the filming deadline, we had no time to re-film. This meant that our final video was much shorter than it should have been and had a few clips missing. The video still made sense but it wasn't as good as it could've been.
TEAMWORK:How well did we work together as a group?
Personally I think we worked well together as a group, everyone came up with some sort of idea to contribute to this task so everyone took part. We all agreed on ideas and if there were any disagreements then we would talk it out instead of arguing.
Did I feel as if I contributed fairly to the overall outcome?
I think I did contribute fairly as I came up with many ideas and shared them with the group.
