Film Evaluation

we had to evaluate our film today answering 7 questions about how our filming went and what we learnt along the way, it went well as we was able to answer all the questions given!
we used the conventions by introducing the main character at the begining, we showed her waking up and getting dressed for a normal school/college/uni day which can relate back to our audience as it as aimed at 15-21 years olds so most people between this age is going through the same thing most mornings. This could also attract the audience more as we use real situations.
Through this projected I learnt how to use a digital camera more, i learnt that when you are filming it's best to film everything before you watch it back because, when we was filming we kept watching it back so it left a blank gap between different scenes, so we had to edit more to cut the blank gaps out. I also learnt that you can have a fade in fade out after each time you press pause on the recorder, so we also had to cut the fades out.
I also learnt that while your working as a group you all have to be really focused because it can sometimes cause you to pay no attention to your work and focus on somthing completly different, especially when your working with friends. Even though its less work for yourself there can be downfalls.
I learnt about the 180 degree line, while your filming you have to stay on one side of the charaters so that it doesnt look like their talking to themselves.
I think we could of improved on our use of time, we kept leaving things to the last minute which made us fall behind.
