Closing reflection.

Closing Reflection:

This year has been insanely tough for me. This is the first year I have done Media and I have enjoyed everything I have learnt. However, along this journey it has been difficult coming up with an idea to grasp hold of. And since two people left our group during the course of the year, it mad it more difficult to film and get editing and sound mixing together and getting it to the highest quality we could. But we have managed to pull through.

Closing Reflection

Throughout the course, there had been some fluctuations in the group but the two remaining members had managed to complete the work in time. The workload was a decent amount which tested our skills with planning, editing, filming and reflection. 

"SOUTHMEADOW LANE"

(evaluation) Question 7: Looking back at your preliminary task, what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to the full product?

Due to limited access to the correct software, I have had to answer the second part of question 7 via annotations on Youtube.

Changes in Film Production

We had to change the plot in Draft 3, due to certain circumstances. These were that one person had discontinued the subject and one person was ill. Therefore, the remaining person had to change the plot and story and continue to film what they could. This made us have a new direction we were going for. 

(reflection) Feedback from Draft 3:

Things that I received from audience feedback:

- The Spine we found was brilliant to foreshadow that something was wrong.
- The script was very natural and talkative between both actors. However, would like it if it was a bit more 'teenage like' and a bit more mischievous.
- The birds also signified that something was wrong which is good.
- The battery Foley effect was good too.

- The actors head was cut out of most scenes... would like it if the shots were more focused on his face than the ground.

- Make the camera focused on everything... perhaps not use a DSLR camera.....

- Location is great for this type of genre.

- Many different shots need to be used. like pans and close ups. this gets more of a feel of the genre and different specific things.
