Production Evaluation

The purpose of an evaluation is for you to revisit the pre-production, Production and post-production stages of the assignment. Through doing this you will be able to decide if you have achieved the outcome that you had originally planned.

The important aspect of this evaluation is not that everything went to plan and you are happy with that outcome, although this is still important. What we also need to see is that you have carefully considered each aspect of the assignment and taken from that assignment any lessons or do’s and don’ts that can be transferred on to the next assignment. It is only through such a process that you can really gauge how far and how much you have taken from the course.

1. What do you feel is the most important area of learning that you have taken from this assignment? Look at all the production stages and ask your self which areas of this assignment have given you a new way of thinking or approaching you future projects. (50 Words)

The area I feel is the most important in this assignment is all to do with postproduction and teamwork. The other area of the trailer that have given me a new way of approaching my future project was to be always organize, get every preproduction work done on time for the production. I realize that the production stage mint change all the time things mint not turn the way you want them to be. I had to change my script while in production stage because of continuity errors.

2. From your finished project what parts are you most happy with? With the same level of consideration what areas do you feel you need to improve on? (50 Words)

The part of the project am most happy with is the middle and the ending it’s because more action is happening also the scene is better and there are no continuity errors. The ending is perfect because of the way it goes and the building of the tension in the trailer.

To improve my trailer I would have to include more shot to improve the continuity, also I would included every scene I was going to put and would take different shot more close-up. Also I would use different front for my text to help the audience understand what was going on in the trailer and to left them in question has the say more lost than 24 styles. as well as all this i would use Lightening to help on the effect.

3. How well do you think you and your group worked in achieving all the goals that were set by the assignment brief? (50 Words)
The project didn’t meet the expected out come because of what happen in the production process the actors were not wearing the appropriate clothe and wasn’t available at all time. In the preproduction Stage my group and I work together to get the best idea ever we put both of our idea together and make it as one. Each of us after has to produce a separate trailer base on the same storyline. We help each other to finish each trailer and I thought my group made a good job and has met the expected end of project.






4. What would you change or do differently in the next production? (50 Words)

Things I would change or do differently in the next production are to build more tension in the trailer and show the dead person to make it more horror. As well as building the tension in the trailer I would choose a different location I weird park may be or a house. All the things I would include in my next project if I had to do in again to build the tension would be for example a shot of bleeding blood, someone tired to a chair, the tic-tac of a clock, shot of the girls seeing dead body that the killer had kill .At some point in the trailer the girls would hear and see every door closing. Also I would include a close-up the eye of the victim and heavy breathing.





5. How does your trailer fit with the look and style of a real example that you looked at in research, think about how your trailer looks and how it is edited (50 Words)
I think my trailer is an original one from every trailer I seen. Every trailer I seen they all look similar in some way I think I improve where they didn’t. I think it does fit with a real example because of the voiceover also of the building of tension in the trailer. My trailer is edited in certain way to behave like why this happen? When was it? Who die? Who is the second person? Well my trailer behave to make people asking question of what’s happening in the trailer and to make the audience want to see the movie.

Post Production Video Finished

As naomi was late some time i took most of the editing part. I found that we had to change a lot of things to make the story better. Some of the shot that we took i had to add transitions to make have scense.Well at first when we did the editing i realize that their was something wrong with the video it was amanda wearing different Clothes so we had to retook the shot to make it work. After i used my ipod to record a sound track. The song was bad day it was well chosen cause it fit the video. Neyo was having a bad day some body took his bag and he went everywhere to look for it. Well we added credit at the beging and at the end also in the middle to explain what was going on. Well some shot we haven't used cause it wasn't making any sence for example the moody face of amanda and the happy face of me we choose to not using it.


In individually i help more the i should in the editing part to make the video nice and sound. the area of the production i would improve is that i would put more scence of chasing to make it match the title. Thr video was well good because we all help in our own way to make it perfect as we can the acting were good and the fact that each of us had fun doing it. The group did really well in every areas as the knowladge they have.

I believe that this production would be good. As a fact that I did what I could even that I was not the director to make this production went the right way. Well at the beginning it was not easy to start because I thought that it won’t work for the fact that it was so simple. I got the idea to put all of our idea together so everyone would be happy. As well as the idea put together I draw my storyboard and label it. Well I did the story line then the script and the shooting schedule to plan what we doing first to make it easy for us.
