Evaluation

Overall, I think my project went well. There were lots of mishaps in organisation and scheduling, which is a fault on my part and something I need to improve on in the future.

With the deadline coming soon I made sure to upload the film on YouTube. I made sure to export it in time to be able to upload it.

During this project, the thing I enjoyed the most was having lots of ideas and the creativity of my classmates ideas. I liked to see what people wanted to create and how they would do it. I oddly enjoyed helping people out more than my own project. I helped out with scriptwriting, camera work and editing. I know this isn’t good on my part, but I found it more useful for me because I learnt more about working in a team, trying different roles in filmmaking and how I could apply these things in real life. Teamwork was one of the main things I learnt when doing any project. You can’t do a lot if you don’t have a good team.

One of my weaknesses was scheduling and planning. My original film failed because I couldn’t find time to film because of actors failing to show up, not having the right equipment, not having enough props, and myself working part-time meant I couldn’t film on weekends when everyone else was free to film. In the future, I need to create a plan on where and when I need to film and STICK TO IT. Procrastination was one of my enemies and in the end I guess that’s what drove me to make this short film.
