The Wrap up

Now that we are finally finished I would like to briefly talk about the positives and the negatives that my group faced.




I believe our Idea was good to start with even though it took us a little while for use to be fully confident in our idea but we could have put more detail in our storyboard so we would not have to waste time trying to fit in different types of camera shot types and distances for example we added last minute over the shoulder shots whilst we were shooting. I do believe the actors we finally used were good and played their position well even with our last minute replacement actor Ashley who you will see in our opening sequence.

Over the last 3 months I have dramatically improved my skills in all the software`s we used as to start with I had never even heard of these software`s but by the end I had been able to use all of them with confidence especially final cut pro as I found this specific software hard to use at first but by the time we finished I was able to fully use it. I also got better with using motion and was able to create an ident with Shannon.

My contribution to the group came mainly with filming and editing, I filmed about 80% of our footage because I was the perfect height to film with the fig rig as our main character (Seun) is a similar height to me. I also worked hard on editing as I would spent time trying to film the right footage to put into our editing screen and Id figure out the exact time to cut extra footage we did not want to use. I helped along side my team mate Shannon to come up with names for the credits them I worked to get the credits on screen into the perfect position so that you could clearly see it because the sun was too bright to put our credits anywhere we wanted so we had to find the perfect dark spot to put our credits and we also made thee decision to not use bright colours for our credits because it felt very unprofessional and more like an Indie movie and we did not want to do in that direction.

All in all I am very proud and happy of our work because we spent a lot of time on it and we got it exactly how we imagined it being when we first came up with the idea but with everything in life it could have been better in some elements.
