Evaluation.

There are many factors to consider before deciding if our project was an overall success.

The planning of our practical work went very well, considering there was a number of absenses from group members. We first outlined the camera/filming techniques we would need to use and added them to our blogs, this gave us a clear idea of how we needed to use the camera and where to position it in the room etc.

We then came up with a plan view of the area in which we would be filming our short film, and keeping in mind the Line of interaction, we roughly planned the position in which our camera would be, this made it much easier when it came to the practical stage.

One of the most important things about our planning was the risk assessment. Aswell as being a legal requirement, it aslo gave us a clear idea of all the hazards and potential risks in our work space, and what we should do to avoid these.

I thought the filming and editing stage of our project went very well considering we had members of our group absent on a number of occasions. We managed to get a number of good shots on all parts of the role play, despite a number of interuptions, the camera work itself was done very well. It looks as though we placed the camera in exactly the right position on most occasions which made the final outcome a much higher quality than if we had just placed the camera in a random position. Things such as eye line level and tracking were enhanced through the camera work.

The editing stage of the project was much more complicated that the other stages the project inlcuded, but once we managed to understand and use the software we could easily edit the film in the correct places to make the scene run smoothly and make it a high quality. Making sure to include techniques such as match on action.


Overall i think we did very well in making our short film and i am very pleased with the final outcome.
