We ourselves starred in the short film with myself being a bully character and my collegue Leeroy as a victim. All in all the production ran smoothly and took our group an hour to finish.
What went well?
The production ran smoothly.
In some scenes only one take was needed for our group to be satisfied.
Our group listened to each others opinions on how to make the scenes more effective.
Even without a tri-pod our camera operator maintain a steady hand throughout the production.
We managed not to break the 180 degree rule.
Camera angles and shots gave the viewers a better understanding of location and a good idea of the plot.
What didn't go so well?
Sometimes our group disagreed with eachother on what type of shots to concentrate on in certain scenes. This lead to slight arguing.
I feel if we were able to obtain a tri-pod our shots would have been more accurate.
Communication was lacking slightly between the group when scenes ended. For instance, sometimes myself and the other actor was not clear on when the scene ended therefore, the scene would be ruined.
Things to Improve on
I feel our group hasn't reached our full potential in production skills therefore, we are determined to keep practising to make our next short film excellent, which is an opening sequence of a film based on a particular genre.
As well as this, in my opinion I feel we can introduce more shots of objects and natural everyday things that tend to happen such as, the public walking by to make the scene more realistic and in the real world. I feel by putting this sort of stuff in the scenes, will create a more enjoyable watch for the audience.
this is a decent evaluation, and i hope you learn from this experience
