when filming my short film we come across a number of problems, firstly due to severe weather condition we were unable to film in the locations planned therefore we decided to base the movie around the college and the housewhich was partly scripted in my storyboard. we also has lighting difficutlies so decided to film da flash back in still image and fasten the pace in which they appear, we decided when filming to use hand held camera alot of the way through as we wanted to amke our short film seem as real as possible and went as far as saying in the magaxine review that it was a low budget film in which hand held shaky camera are used alot and yet these films still g on to be blockbuster hits and overturn thousands and millions. i think we coped extremly well under the circunstances and obstacles we faced which were beyond our control.
when eiditng the film we decided to cut a few parts out and shorten the lengths of shots as we came to relise we had a bit more footage then we needed to, which came as a suprise as i concluded that it would be hard to film five minutes as it was a lot of time, but now i see it is not and have taken this and learnt from it. the soundtrack we used i think suited the film defiently it made the film seem more drmatic and creative the drama feel in which we intended it to. we used transitions such as dissolves to white in order to mould the shots together and create a more ghostly effective on the shots were lily the ghost was.
in prepertation for our film i think i worked hard, i did a lot of anyaltical observations on shorts film and wrote anaylsis about them i also researched into other magaxine reviews and posters, although i do beleive i could have probably deconstructed a view more and more on the same genre type although i dont beleive this did effect my work in any way s i had a lot of background knowledge of what i was doing as i have done similar projects before, i also have a lot of knowledge on target audiences and the codes and conventions of magazine film reviews and film posters which i think really did help me and i am happy with the outcome.
overall i think the project went very well and i found the task as a whole very stimualting even when obstacles appeared we overcame them and carried on to achieve the best we could. if truth be told i think i would of put a bit thought into the lighting and what else we could of done during the filming of the evening when it had fallen dark and i would of maybe had a bit more of a voiceover when looking back at it now. but overall i am satisifed with the work that has been perfromed and enjoyed it enourmously.
