Prelim Evaluation

The Prelim has showed me how important the start the planning stage is as it tells you how and what to do when it comes to filming. The reason for this is that we had already started filming before we had created the shot list. We had an initial idea of what we wanted before we went out to film and as we started to film we created more and more shots to add to our original idea. Also while editing we changed some of the order and also how the music fitted in to the idea. The challenged we fAced was that on the day of filming our actor was not in instead we had to use one of the camera men to act out the film. The most difficult stage was the planning was we had to think of an original idea for the film that was easy to film and edit in the space of two days. It has made me realise that we need to take our time on planning as we need to make sure that our ideas are solid, before going into production. I would team work skills have improved as we have never worked together before as a group so we all got to know each other together. We will not be doing planing after we done filming as it creates problems in the future, as it mean that we then have to add more shots on to the shot list.
