Evaluation

I am very proud of that fact that I have managed to create this film without the help of a group. I think this is a big achieve and will help me to feel more confident if I choose to work on my own again.
For me, I felt that the whole process went well even though I did have a slight issue over casting and location. This was something that I was able to deal with quite easily though.
I am pleased with how the music and the editing turned out. I'm pleased with the music because this was the first time I have used Garageband and I think that the piece of music I created fitted well with the film and the genre. I'm pleased with the editing because the piece of film had no obvious continuity errors and I've managed to make the film fit together without too many problems.
I think the low point of the process was the audience feedback as I had a few problems with it and a few things came to light. I found it quite difficult to get feedback from friends who I'd e-mailed as I just didn't get the e-mails back from them. I discovered that year 9s were the wrong group to show the film to in order to obtain feedback as they didn't really understand the concept of an anti-climax and they took the phrase "what could be improved" a bit too literally and so most of their feedback consisted of this whereas I could have done with more of their opinion on the film and what they liked about it. I found that my media class were a bit harsh with their feedback, I'm not sure whether or not this is just me being biased but I felt that this was the case compared to the way I evaluated their films. I also feel that they didn't really understand it too well either but this is because I wasn't there to actually explain what the film was meant to be and none of them decided to find out.
The blog has been a positive part of this process as I have found it quite easy to use and I've only had one major problem with it which I was able to rectify by using the help forum facility.
I am very pleased with the overall turn out of the film. I think this is contributed to by the fact that I worked on my own to create it this time.
Finally, I am also proud of and pleased with my actors as they've made this experience worthwhile as they have been easy to work with as well as making the filming process quite entertaining. I would definitely consider asking them to be in my films in the future.
