Production Evaluation

The start off our production was sort of slow cause we weren't entirely sure what we wanted our thriller to be about so that was alot of time wasted, but once we got our act together we started deciding that it was going to be about 2 guys that make a transaction/swap and we decide that would leave an enigma for the audience with just the opening sequence. Since we took so long to decide we had to make sure we kept to the deadline whilst making a decent opening sequence. we did the reece shots for our opening sequence, did the risk assessment then after a few lessons we realized that we could not do it in the  cafe so we had to redo the reece shots and  risk assessment. The creativity that we had was a bit too much since we all pitched so many ideas we couldnt do them all so we took a few from everyone and tried to put some aspect in to what we had to make, and came up with out opening sequence.We did alot of filming during and some out side of college to make our video what it is now so we filmed and edited all before deadline which gave us a push to make it in due time so we could keep up. As a team we worked really well as Tom and I were the actors Sam was the camera man and me and Tom edited the final footage which we did well. We had to help help from others because we needed better camera angles and better shots and footage the cameraman could of dont a lot better but we worked with what we had and what needed to be done. Tom did really well as both actor and editor for the opening sequence, Sam did ok being a cameraman since we got the necessary footage. If i were to compare it to a professionals it would not be far off but they would of had alot more to work with to make it that much better which would of also had a lot more time to complete it, but our opening sequence is still really good. I personally thing my input to the team was more that expected since i also was an actor and a editor  for our opening sequence. i had to put extra time into getting a suit and a briefcase and other props for the film which was all useful is some way. The feedback we got from our focus group was all very positive we didnt get much negative feedback other that a few editing hic ups which have all been sorted now. The part were we are walking to the destination of the drop off the feedback we got was to have 2 shots on one screen showing both of us walking to the destination  of the drop off but whilst we are walking the camera will be focused on the  briefcases.
