The End

Thank you for reviewing how my media skills and knowledge developed throughout this course. As it was something I had never done before, it was a really exciting and new experience for me and I am glad I had the chance to have such an opportunity. I learned many things about the film industry that I never knew before, and I was also able to get a hint of how things moved behind the scenes. Although it was quite difficult to get a hold of at first, through loads of practice and through the help of my fellow teammates and my teacher, I was able to learn many things such as how to handle a camera, how to edit films, how to work in a group, the different types of shots and editing techniques and many more. I know that I have many areas I need to improve in, but I was quite pleased with how far my teammates and I have come in terms of filming. I hope to continue to prove on these techniques so I can hopefully do even better next year.

Response To The Video

I was pleased to see this type of response for our film opening. We had the desired emotional effect we wanted to have originally an am glad we were able to pull it off.

The shots that were unfocused was a mistake on our side as we didn't really pay attention on the day we were filming. Due to us being unable to film again we had to go with what we had and just made sure they cut quickly. It annoyed me as it was very unprofessional for us to do but the people who acted for us on that day were able to find a day free to do it for us again so we decided to keep the shots in.

I was quite disappointed when it was mentioned that some things were hard to understand due to how they were laid out, but I understood their perspective as we told a very important plot line at the beginning of the film itself, so it would be quite difficult to understand. I do believe we could've improved some of the ways we told the story, by for example, having the flashbacks in a more coherent structure, but once again due to us not being able to film again we had to use what he had, and tried our best to make sense of that.

Their thoughts on the pace, editing, and audio was positive which made me glad as those were the thing I personally was the most worried about. I agree that the audio quality was not the best, but it helped the audience understand more of the character which is exactly what we were hoping it would do.

In terms of the font and film title, I do agree that they didn't follow the normal boxing conventions, but it was the best we could do given the late time we finished our film at.

Overall we had a positive review which I am thankful for. The impact we had on our audience was exactly what we wanted, and I'm glad we were able to pull it off properly.
