PRODUCTION INTERNAL: Evaluation

Positive Aspects of the Process:
A positive aspect of the filming process was my effective use of storyboards and treatments to convey the idea of my film. The storyboards were incredibly helpful in filming because they allowed me to work through all of my shots easily and it gave my production process a logical order which allowed my filming to be done efficiently.


Another positive aspect of the filming process was editing. I found that my use of storyboards also helped in editing because they helped with shot order and length which created a neater final product.


Aspects Which Could Have Been Better Done:
Steps in the process which could have been better done include time management, which caused problems in the editing stage of the production process by limiting the time available to me to edit. Another aspect which could have been improved on was the fact that due to technical and physical limitations I had to drop some shots from my film because they were too difficult to create. For example, a long shot I had planned of the main character walking down the street had to be cut because I could not get a wide enough or high enough shot in order for it to be included.


Strategies Suggested To Achieve This:
In order to achieve better time management I should have completed my filming earlier and begun editing sooner in order to allow more time for it. This would have meant I could have made more effective use of my editing time and possibly produced a more polished finished product. More editing time would have also meant less stress in the process allowing me to focus more clearly on the work.


How These Changes to the Production Process May Have Affected the Media Product
As mentioned above, the most significant effect of the time constraints was less time to edit my media production. This was obviously disappointing as it reduced the quality of the final product, however, I feel my use of technology and effective time management over the past week in terms of editing has allowed me enough time to create a satisfactory end product. Overall, I would say the the filming and production process of my media product has been successful and for the most part has been very positive.
