My Personal Contribution To The Film

This project was a joint attempt at making a film but we split the roles equally. We came up with the idea together although i helped develop the idea from more then just a robbery to two guys mucking around trying to look for this mysterious item. When it came to filming i directed everything and i told Charley where to stand and what shot would look best. We managed to film everything in one day in about 5 hours which took a lot longer then i thought it would, just showed me how much preparation and time it takes to just shoot one scene. We edited the film on Charley's laptop on the software Final Cut Pro, we had to cut down 25 minutes of film down to 2 minutes but this was the hardest part because we had to choose shots that got the message across to the audience that we wanted. I helped Charley choose what to cut and keep but she had to do all the technical stuff on editing because it was on her computer and she knew a lot more about editing then me. The last point was doing our powerpoint evaluation and i did half of the questions and Charley did the other half, this didn't take too long because i know how to use powerpoint well and use all the effects on it. Once we had both finished our set questions we put the slides together to make it one powerpoint and uploaded it onto youtube.

The things i would do differently next time would be plan and prepare the film better and have a few more run through's before we shot the films and just organise everything better because i felt it was a bit rushed. Im really pleased with our final product and i think if it would ever be made into a movie it would appeal to a lot of teenagers because they can relate to the characters.
