Creative Media Reflection:

This term we have been editing our film for our stories in our previous assignment. Except my group is really behind due to members of our group leaving the school and others joining. My group is still filming our story. Over this term I have decided to leave my group and start editing a random film by myself, once I talked to my other group members, I changed my mind and stayed with the group. I think that now we know exactly what we are doing, we will do well. If I would change anything I would definitely improve our time management.

Reflection/evaluation:

My biggest difficulty throughout the whole assignment was the storyboarding, this is because i found it hard to draw the scenes.
My planning and research helped me write my treatment as i didnt have to start from scratch, i could just use the notes i already had to write my character profiles and locations.
The activities and templates helped me create

• Describe any problems or difficulties you encountered in this unit or during the writing/design process.

Discuss your feelings about the pre-production task:
• Are you satisfied with the final result?
• Did you manage your time effectively?
• Are there things you would like to change?
• If you could start again what would you do differently?
