Evaluation 8 - Next project.

For my next project (G324) which I will produce next year I will set myself a few targets to make sure nothing goes wrong and I keep up to date on all the wok that I get given. Next year, as we will be making a Trailer and not the Opening two minutes, I feel that it will be slightly easier because you are able to give away more of the story through a trailer compared to what you are able to give away through the Opening two minutes. I feel like we will be able to get a very good Idea for our trailer because we will be able to use and exiting storyline and make it look even better than the opening two minutes that my group and I made this year.  Next year I don't think we will decide to go for a different genre other than Horror because I feel as if it is a very easy and exiting film to be able to produce. It also allows you get lots of effective shots involved within the film which makes the audience feel different emotions throughout the trailer and will allow them to be drawn into it even more. In order to make progress next year I will make sure I keep up to date on my blog, and post something each day to make sure I don't fall behind and make sure my posts stay detailed throughout the year. I will post more video diaries to  allow the marketing for our film to do even better as our fans for our film will be interested in what we do behind the scenes of our film. If I were to do anything differently this year,  I would change the time that we filmed for the part where the girl is walking through the woods. This is because as it is very bright, it does not seem that scary which can give the wrong effect that we wanted upon the audience. However, as the first time we tried to film it was too dark, meaning you couldn't see much, and the second time we filmed I felt it could have been a little darker. This means that next year, if we decide to plot our film outside, I will want to make sure we time it right to make sure the lighting is correct so that it creates the right effect and emotion on the audience. Another thing I would have done differently this year was make sure that I kept up on blog work and not push some of the activities until last minute because his meant that my storyboards didn't properly get finished until the second day of filming. This meant that we didn't have a full outline of what shots we wanted to do making the filming stage take a bit longer than it should of. However I don't think it effect our final performance as I am very pleased with how our film turned out. It just meant It was a little more time consuming than it should have been. For our filming in our next production (next year) in order to improve our film taking and making, I think we will use a tri-pod to ensure our shots are not shaky and make sure that the camera stays in focus because if it is shaking just the slightest bit the camera tends to go slightly out of focus making the shot less effective and professional. I think we will defiantly use the camera we used this time round because we found it gave clear and effective shots making our film overall extremely good just from the shots that we took, without including the angles that we put on the shots. During the editing process next time, I think I will try to include more effects and transitions to make the trailer more exiting, I think transitions will suit the trailer because we can use different techniques to make the trailer exiting and make the audience drawn in to finding out more about the film and to watching the actual film when it comes out.
