THE PACKAGE:

EVALUATION

What have I learnt What have I learnt during the making during the making of the preliminary of the preliminary

task?task?

I have learnt how to use a storyboard to create and film a new, unseen film.

Also have to accurately use a camera to film feature of a film, as well as using a range of shots to be used in a film and understand how the shots are used to create a thrilling scene feature of a film.

Even I have learnt how to directed and produced a film.

Furthermore, I have learnt how to manage my time accurately as I now know how to use a storyboard to help with my planning with the film. Therefore I know how what location and camera shots are required for a certain scene or feature.

Additional, I have learnt how to working group efficiently to complete the task that’s at hand.

Issues with continuity:I have learnt during the preliminary task that continuity errors can occur during the making of any film and they are easily done. Therefore I have learnt that the camera operator, producers and film director has to watch out for anything that shouldn’t be in the scene of the shot. However in some of THE PACKAGE feature that’s some is shown in and mostly not are some continuity errors such as sunglasses and objects like scripts and bags can be seen in the short film.

AREAS OF SUCCESSAREAS OF SUCCESSWhat did I do well?What did I do well?

I worked as part of my group to complete the preliminary task’s basic requirements such as showing an actor/actress walking down a corridor, opening a door and sitting down to deliver some speak to another actor/actress.

I used a range of different camera shots in the film such as shot/reverse shot, establishing shot, mid-shot, close-up and extreme close-up.Also used a range of camera movement like the 180 degree rule, where the camera moves on a 180 degree rotation and match on action.

Time managementWith the use of the storyboard, time management was easy as we used the storyboard to tell us the required location, the costume and type of camera shots that is required for the scenes of part of the film.

Another thing I’m proud of what I did well in the making of the film- THE PACKAGE; I took the role of the main actor in the film, as well as scriptwriting the script for the film, directing and helping out with producing and editing the film.

I proud with the final version of the film, as a lot of work was put towards making the film a success, as the use of the editing software Adobe Premiere Pro CC, as we turned some scenes of the film black and white. Also get the correct, required shots for the making of the film.

Areas of development Areas of development

The things that went wrong with filming the film- THE PACKAGE. That there was a few continuity errors that occur during the making of the film.

An example of a continuity error that occur in the making of the film; the sunglasses that was on the main actor’s head (the secret agent) covering the eyes. At the start of the film when the agent was walking down the long pathway to school, he is wearing some sunglasses, then towards the end of the film when the secret agent is speaking to the other actor in the film, the agent is wearing a different pair of sunglasses that doesn’t matches the one he was wearing at the start of the film.

What will I do differently?I would make sure in future, there are no continuity errors in any of my future filming, as I will take care that actors and actress wear the same clothing and accessories during filming.Take more care that anything that shouldn’t be in the scene during filming, also take more time with filming.

What will I avoid during the planning process for my main task?One avoid, that I not going to involve in my main task is continuity errors as these can sour the film and make the film not that successful. As the basic continuity errors can just be simple accessories like sunglasses, watches and earrings.Another thing, I will do differently is how long the filming should be, as there is a maximum filming footage in the main task. Filming in the same location for the majority of the film like THE PACKAGE was mostly filmed in a school classroom, corridor and the bus park. Therefore I must try to film in different locations to set more of a stronger feel to the film.

How well did I How well did I meet the brief?meet the brief?

My team met the brief of the task, that we had to involve the following requirements:- Walking down a corridor- Opening a door - Sitting down - Delivering some lines of speak.

In the filming of ‘THE PACKAGE’, my team obey the rule of 180 degree rule, that was used in the film towards the beginning to the middle part of ‘THE PACKAGE’.

Also in my preliminary task, I used shot/reverse shot in the conversation between the two characters in the film.

Also my team obey and used the rule of match on action in the film. As in the short film we kept on filming until a problem in the scene occurred, then we stopped filming. We also involve the term of Mise-en-scene, as we used costumes such as a suit and background noises in the film as the features that were presented during filming the scenes and shots.

Evaluation of my contribution to

the group’s work?

What role did I have during the planning process and during the filming of the preliminary task?

During the planning process of the preliminary task I drew out the storyboard for the film, by separating which camera shot is required for a pretibial scene. Also I took on the main role as the agent in the preliminary task film.Furthermore I help in directing and producing the short film- ‘THE PACKAGE’, as I put ideas of the bests camera shot to a pretibial scene.As well as sharing the editor’s role in putting clips of film together, cutting them down and applying music background to the finished version of the film.

How flexible was I in the planning process and filming of the film?

I was very flexible when it come to planning and filming the film, as most of the filming was done during lessons that was given to use to do some filming each lesson. Also in the planning process, we were flexible as my group spent some of our time planning our storyboard and spending some minutes before starting to film with setting up the equipment and costumes for the film.

The skills I have gained:- Being a producer to make a film.- Acting a director to direct the direct the shots and filming.- Scriptwriter to write the script for the film.- Editor to put all the clips and music together to make the

finished version of the film.- Being an actor in the film.

Did I work well as part of my team?Yes, I did work well as I helped out with telling and directing my group with the correct possible camera shot for a pretibial scene. Furthermore we share between my group which roles is best for each of us, like I took on the role of director and producer, as the other member of my team took on the role of the main camera man. However both of us shared the roles of being actors, scriptwriters and editors during the planning process and filming.
