Today in class we were asked to do a mini-review on last years Media Studies course and our final productions as a sort of base point. This will hopefully be able to show how far I have come at the end of the A2 course :)
First of all, this is my groups final production - The brief was to create a opening sequence of a new film.
The Creation and Production Process-
The base plot was created by the director, Katie Bannock, and throughout both the pre and production stages we adapted and changed the idea to suit locations and other suggestions. This resulted in lots of changed storyboards which meant that some shots we edited out or changed in the post-production stages.
Production took quite a long time as we found it difficult to get the correct shots without taking about 20 per each scene, but we wanted to make the editing processes easier but getting perfect shots.
The Challenges and things that Worked Well
Challenges include working with new technology and time management. We tried to use a Steadicam as we wanted to created floating shots within our piece, however found that it was incredibly hard to set up properly and probably in the end made filming much more difficult as it accentuated the wobbliness of certain shots. Time management was an issue as as I mentioned filming took ages to which meant that we had to set up more times to film, meaning we had less time to do post-production and meant that it was tight to get it finished on deadline, but fortunately we did :)
What we did well was I think after-effects as we managed to take out most of the unbalanced shots such as the one at the beginning of our piece and also allowed us to colour correct our piece, resulting in the right mood I think for our production. Sound also worked well as it again added to the effect of the piece and created an unsettling feeling with the use of the lullaby.
If you have any question about our piece, please feel free to ask :)
