Self-reflection and evaluation:
Please answer each question using complete sentences, including as much detail as possible.
1. Discuss your feelings about the production task: Please justify your responses:
• Are you satisfied with the result? (i.e. did it turn out as well as you hoped?)
I am satisfied with the end product as even though it isn't quite how I planned it would be, it worked out being just as good.
• Did the project require more/less time than you originally thought?
I knew it would be very time consuming as I have done other production tasks but it was easier that I only had to edit two scenes instead of the whole film because that would have made it much more time consuming.
• Would like to change or improve any aspects of your final film (storyline, shots, editing etc.)?
A film can always be improved, if we had a longer time limit I would have liked to expand more on the storyline. I also wish I was at the filming for my scene that I edited as a lot of the scenes are very shaky as a tripod wasn't used.
• If you could start the project again, what would you do differently?
Being at the last two filming sessions would probably made me feel a bit more comfortable with the shots.
2. As this task focused on the Film Noir Style, describe:
• How you used specific elements of mise-en-scene to depict your film’s genre and enhance the narrative?
By using 50's style clothing, covering the windows with dark sheets to make the room dark but with harsh lighting.
• How you used specific shot types to convey the story using visual language?
We used some angled shots to show who was in power, we hid a the identities of a few characters with only shooting specific areas of them e.g. their feet.
• Whether the intended genre is depicted clearly or if this could be improved?
There is always room for improvement but I believe that we pretty much captured the essence of what we needed to do.
3. Personal reflection and evaluation:
After your previous task, you were asked to reflect upon the project and identify aspects of planning, production and reflection, which could be improved. Please explain which aspect you chose to focus on for this task and how you have made improvements.
The shot list was what we definitely needed to improve and I believe we did this. Every shot that we needed was filmed and we always knew exactly what we needed to do. When improving our work on the shot lists it made us much more organised than in previous tasks.
4. Reflecting upon your completed task, respond to the following points:
• How did other people respond to your rough-edit? Did you use their feedback to make changes to the film?
I know that I individually reponded to the feedback I got and made adjustments to my scene, in particular tightening it all up and adding in a few quick shots.
• Did your group use the planning and analysis tools effectively? (ingredients list, storyboards, shot lists).
I feel that we did as we were so organised in getting everything done, the only thing that held us up in places was when we were trying to get all the actors together so we could film.
