Post Two - Prelim Evaluation

Introduction

The group I was in consisted of me, Abdi, Lama and Alexandra. Our film was set in a kitchen and our prop was a skateboard. The story was about Abdi finding a skateboard in the park and when he came to the kitchen, he was confronted by Lama because she found out that Abdi stole the skateboard from her friend.

Pre-Production – (Planning)

Overall, I thought our Pre-Production workflow was very efficient because within the 3 hour lesson, we managed to figure what role each person, our storyline and began to storyboard. When it came to filming the film all members in the group were prepared and knew what to do. Furthermore, all members contributed ideas on how we should film and the storyline.

Production – (Filming)

Overall, I thought our Production filming was quite average however, I believe there was much room for improvement. Even though we were in a very confined space and didn’t have sufficient space for the tripod to come in to the room – we still managed to great decent shots. One shot that I was no satisfied with was the tracing shot with Abdi going to the kitchen; it was very shaky and was very distracting when it came to editing and seeing it finally. The actors did especially well however, with the minor slip-ups in cues and lines however, we were short for time therefore the ending wasn’t that great.

Post-Production (Editing)

Overall, I thought our Production filming was excellent as all worked together to make the film look professional. In the first part, the rest of my group was quite confused on the actual editing however, I did help them in getting them started and we managed to edit the film within the hour and didn’t need to do any sort of extra work outside the lesson or even in the consecutive lesson.
