Reflection of Creative Work
C. Reflection on collaboration in the core production team (8 marks ) REFLECTION The post where you assess what you have learned and what you’ll do next time.
Post Production
Once we had filmed our shots, we each had a copy of the rushes and edited them to each of our own styles, so we each had something personally creative. I edited in Adobe Premiere Pro as that is what i am most familiar with.
Overall, I think our film/sequence turned out ‘alright’ but nowhere near the standard that we desired. I think once we reflected as a team, on what went right and what went wrong, we were definitely ready to give it another go on the next task that is set. I am going to explain what i think went well first, and then what i think we could have done to improve our standard. First of all, what went well. I think the main thing that we did quite well was equipment. We all communicated well, on when we were going to shoot, as so we all turned up with all of the right gear at the right time, meaning we had everything we needed for the shoot. Also, I think, our planning for location was quite good, as we went on a location recce, to help our ideas flow so that we felt more ready on the day of filming, to get going. Now onto what we could’ve done better in order to make our film better. First of all, a huge thing that we definitely got wrong was planning. We did not have a definitive written plan before we started filming, we only had a rough idea of what shots we wanted. This lead to our film, looking ultimately, rubbish. You could 100 percent tell that our film was a student film and now we have reflected, we now know what we could’ve done to improve. One main thing, for me, is that we could’ve added a greater variety of shot types, to make our film less confusing, or at least easier to watch. For example, we could’ve used an establishing shot for the start and used close-ups with zoom to build tension. More suitable outfits could’ve been worn in order to present characters more, and the actors would’ve maybe been able to present their acting better. Overall, i think we need to take our time more next time.
