Evaluation Part 2

The kind of media institution that might distribute our film would most likely be an independent film retailer, they would most likely release the film because even though it is in the action thriller it does have some key differences such as being in black and white and having no real dialogue, this would not be the sort of film that would be released in a main stream cinema due to the differences discussed above.

We managed the group dynamics by making sure that everyone in the group had a specific job to do; We made sure that all the equipment and resources were on site during the days which we were filming so that we would always be ready if we needed to re-film or film a new scene.

Overall as a group we tried to take health and safety into consideration as much as possible without jeopardising our filming, one of the main concepts of our film is a “high speed” motorbike scene, when filming this scene we had to make sure that the camera was securely attached to the back of the bike so that no road traffic accident would be caused. Another example of health and safety considerations was the motorbike safety gear that was worn during the filming of the scene, this gear involved a jacket, helmet and gloves, we used this in our film to add mystery to the character as the helmet always obscures his face.

We organised the human resources so that all work was equally done by each member of the team. Before we started the coursework we all choose a specific task that we wanted to do. One of my main tasks was making sure that the costume list and film story was completed for a certain deadline, I also helped supply some of the camera gear that we decided we did not want to use.

As a group we managed the actors, locations, costumes and props we did this to make sure that the project ran smoothly. We deliberately made sure that we had a small number of actors.

One creative decision we made was to use a very small number of props, one of the reasons we did this was so the attention would not be taken away form the actors and the storyline, so instead of using lots of small props we decided to use a big prop to capture the audiences attention. The prop we choose was a motorbike.

When we were filming we made sure that we stuck to what was on our storyboard so that we would get the depth of film we were looking for, it was a good decision to do a detailed storyboard in colour; when we were shooting are scenes we would often look at our storyboard to make sure we had followed it. Our film has no real dialogue so we did not have to worry about following a script, this made it easier film.

As time management in an important aspect of filming we tried to make sure that we stuck to filming scenes in chunks, as we have double media lessons we decided to film a scène before break and a scene after break by using this method we finished the filming on time and used the left over time to edit and produce the movie to the standards that we wanted, overall we found that sticking to the time guide meant our film was finished to high standard with everything we expected.
