Work Shop, Post Production

For post-Production we were given back our script and the footage that the other group filmed for it. We then had to edit it, put the footage in sequence order and add titles and credits. We were told that we were not allowed to alter the footage in any way other than what was needed for editing. We were very pleased with the footage we got back and the group that had our script stuck pretty much to what was there, also we think they did a really good job of filming.

Editing the piece was fairly easy as all the footage was near enough in order any way. The only thing we added were titles and credits and a few transitions and overall it turned out brilliantly.

Work shop, Production

For our workshop production we had to swap our scrip with someone Else's and film their production while another group filmed ours.
We were given a script from another group to film, after looking over the script there were a few parts that were unclear and that we would not have been able to film due to location issues and similar problems, however the overall storyline was good though so we tried to stick to it as much as possible.
We enjoyed filming and found that it didn't take us to long to complete. overall Raina and i were happy with what we produced. in future though we would perhaps try and use a location more similar to the one described but i think it still worked out very well.

Evaluating, My Contribution to Post Production and Final sequence.

In Post Production I Edited Roughly half of the clips as we tried to share it out equally between the two of us so we both got experience. I laid the music over the film at the end. The areas of Post production I would improve on are the Music in some places it’s a bit jumpy and doesn’t blend well where it wasn’t faded properly and I think in some parts the sequence doesn’t flow so



I would try and edit it so it flowed better from one scene to the next.
The areas of the final film I would change would be To write in more close-ups and cut some scenes down like the opening scene, and to re-shoot some scenes as there where a few continuity errors here and there due the fact that we were filming on different days and also we forgot to set the white balance one time. Also I would try and improve on my acting skills and be more convincing. I would also try and Have a longer Chase scene and cut down on the build up to it whereas at the moment we have a short chase scene and the majority of the film is build up.


I think as a Group we Worked really well, we both compromised where needed and was open to direction from the other person, we talked everything through and made sure we were both happy with what we were doing before we made any final decisions throughout the project.

Workshop, Pre Production.

For this exercise Chris set us into pairs, i was put into a group with Raina, and set us the task of coming up with a script and story board for a short sketch with the following guidelines.

• it must be filmed on the fourth floor



• Must not contain weapons or bad language



• Must only contain one character but there must be dialogue.



• the character must not have a name or gender.

with 1 long shot, 2 close ups, 1 medium shot and 1 over shoulder shot.

At first i found it difficult to come up with an idea for a script for just one character after speaking to Chris i decided to do our script about a person in the hallway on the phone. Although it sated there must not be a name or gender i asked Chris if i could name the character 'Sam' because 'Sam' can be used for a name for a boy or girl. i found it relatively easy and once i finished that i started putting the directions and information 0onto the storyboard was absent that day and made notes down the side of my script as to what camera angles should be used for easy reference.

When that was finished we swapped scripts and storyboards with another group. We got Arron and Johns script and Storyboard. After looking through the script i made a Shooting schedule. I found it hard working to someones Else's work. I found that the Script wasn't very clear in places and there were errors regarding the criteria and there wasn't enough information in places, after discussing this with Chris Raina and I made a few changes to the Script and Storyboard and Started Filming. We Found filming Easy and Finished it fairly Quickly. On the whole i thought they had come up with a good concept and after we finished filming and watched it back found it worked quite well.
