16/10/09 Evaluation number 2

How have you worked at different stages?
I think I have worked at different stages because we planned out the filming, then played around with development idea's with storyboards and written plans, then actually doing the filming and experimenting with different filming techniques. I think it helped having a plan with the general filming because otherwise we would have had to improvise too much and the story wouldn't have made sense.

What problems and successes did you experience and what are the strengths and weaknesses?
We hit quite a few problems during filming which were detailed on another eblog post, such as acting, props and camera effects. I think a strength was our planning because then we knew exactly what we were meant to be doing. A weakness was the acting in the film because it wasn't serious enough for the plot.

What influenced your work?
We had a film title to run with which was 'After the Storm' which I think was very open for interpretation, so this was our inspiration. We used the storm metaphorically, as the storm being a argument before the fight broke out, then the rest of the film being the aftermath of the fight.

What have you learnt?
We've learnt about different camera angles, how to upload and edit videos and how to evaluate and analyse film clips. We've also learnt what works well in a film and what could be improved.
