Brief Overview- Kris English

Now that we have finished our film, i have taken the time to watch it closely and also thought about how the process of making it went overall. Personally i feel that the way we approached this film was good, we had a fair few ideas from the outset and combined them to create our final piece. The planning for our film was well thought out and was contributed to by everyone. When we reached the stage of actually filming our piece, we didnt tend to take that long in filming. We only needed a few days of filming as we got alot done in one day. The commitment from the group was very good and when people couldnt make it the others where more than prepared to step in and continue with the shots that we needed.

From watching the final finished version of our film it is clear to me that some shots that we thought would be amazing in our heads didnt actually turn out the way we had hoped. For example, the split screen of the two younger characters was not up to the standard that we had set for ourselves and although it still works in the sense that it shows the two characters thinking of each other, i think the shots that we used should have been better. Apart from that i feel the film was exactly how we planned it to be and from the feedback we have had it seems to be very clear to the audience what is actually happening in the film.

Overall i think the process of researching, making and producing our film went very well. The part i think we relished in the most was perhaps the filming stage. Everyone had a chance to shine and show how creative we could be and we all grabbed the oppotunity with both hands, i think this is evident the the variation of shots that we have. However, i still feel that the other parts of the process went very well.
