Evaluation Task 8 - Targets for G324

How are you going to make progress? - In terms of progress for next year, i believe that the majority of targets i could set myself would involve around the camera and editing points of making a film. I would need to focus on ensuring that the camera shots available are relevant to the characters and help portray this to the audience, this may involve just getting some more types of shots such as the dolly shot in our opening scene as that adds a professional look to the film. I would also ensure that we complete scenes of a longer duration as we were left with one part of our film in which it slightly skips a bit which it would be best to not have in g324. I would also ensure that the editing is completed to a high degree as although i was very happy with the quality of the opening scenes editing i believe that some of the shots could of been quicker or slower depending on there relevance to the storyline.

What you would of done differntly? - If i would of chosen to do anything differently then i would choose to change the location as we were often hindered by the general public when we filmed on a public footpath as we were required to stop filming when they walked past due to the close quarters of the bridge. I would also ensure that we have the appropriate ideas at a shorter amount of time as with the production of our opening scene we often changed the ideas to suit what we felt was necessary and achievable in the opening scene which led to a longer duration to actually film.

Improvements on film making? - To improve my film making i would be required to acquire a wider variety of different shots and angles of the same scene to allow us to edit easier throughout the scene and cut quickly to focus on various parts of the scene e.g. character, setting etc.

Targets for the four technical area?
sound: i need to ensure that all the sound; both diagetic and non-diagetic is easily audible and clear so that there is no confusion on what is being said between the characters.
Editing - I need to make sure that all the available clips are fluent in telling the story of the trailer and ensure that all the clips are similar in terms of lighting and character positions for example.
Camera Composition - For this i need to ensure that all camera shots are completed so that we have a full scene and also incorporate a wider variety of camera shots into the trailer as this would add effect to the overall professionalism of it.
Mise-en-scene - The mise-en-scene for the trailer needs to be simple, meaning that the location is easily accessible and not busy so to avoid hindrance from other people. I would also need to ensure that the costumes the characters are wearing are once again simple and easily acquirable to the actors in that specified scene.
