What I Have Learnt About...

Scripting- When my group decided to create our short film we decided to create a storyboard instead of a script because it is much simpler than a script as you then have to include all speech and directions.
Storyboading- I learnt that when doing a story board that each picture does not need to be fully detailed and to give you some guidelines you can write stage directions or speech underneath each picture.
Locations- When making our short film, we were quite limited with locations but we used locations that we think was quite unique and it made our film seem more realistic.
Talent- Many people are quite camera shy and they were not a lot of volunteers so amber one the people in our group was in the film aswell as Mr Swain and Mrs Fearnley who acted as the parents in our short film. It takes many takes the get the actor/actress in the right position and to get the right angle of the shot.
Organisation- Its very important to be organised especially when you have to share cameras. Its better to have a rota so groups dont argue over cameras and equipment. Some days we couldnt use cameras and so we had to find something else to do while waiting etc, editing.
Teamwork- I found that our group worked well together and we communicated well aswell.
Editing- I had never really done any editing before this project and so it was intresting having to do that. Its definatly not as easy as it looks and it can take time to get it perfect but you do have to think about it carefully and be patient.
