Evaluation:
1. Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you?

My group members included Anneka Williamson, Charlotte Revell and Jordan Carter. We began by sharing ideas how to structure the plot of the film for example what sport would the project be centred around.  I feel the three of us worked well as a team.  We did this by imparting a variety of jobs which would fit to our individual strength, this includes Charlotte doing most of the filming because she was the best at it, we all worked equally hard to attain the finished project.  We additionally did make a group chat on our phones to plan ahead for the upcoming lessons so that we would know exactly what to bring and when to bring it. This made the creation process smooth and a lot less stressful.
2. How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use?

We planned our sequence using the storyboard provided. We chose the shots that we thought were the best and that would showcase our ideas in the best light.


3. What theorists do you think you could apply to your task?

In our production we used Aristotle theory as the film has a beginning, (the boys playing basket ball and being confident that they would win) a middle (the match between the boys and girls) and end (where the girl beat the boys and Jordan pays his fine). In addition we started to use Todorov theory we began to show signs of the 5 stages.

4. What factors did you have to take into account when planning, shooting and editing?

In the planning stage, we obviously had to take into account that we would have to book the area of the school that we wanted when we wanted it so that we could film without ant disruptions. Also, we had to know when everyone was free to film so that we could choose the most suitable time to film. Additionally, one person in my group was on a school trip during filming week which meant we had to take that into account whilst planning. As we filmed outdoors, we had to try to film whilst the wind was as still as possible. Whilst editing, we realised the wind was still loud so we had to try and balance the noise.


 5. How successful was your sequence? Please identify what worked well and with hindsight what would you improve/do differently?

All members of our group were pleased with final product, but it could have been improved. We could have filmed the video and the audio separately due to the wind being too loud over the characters dialogue. We could have also made the story line slightly more gripping and interesting. With hindsight we should have watched our clips once we filmed them when we still had filming time so we could have seen if we wanted to re film any whilst we still had time.  Also we could have improve the film by wearing the same clothes in all the shots, we did not achieve this as when we continued to film the day after we obviously wore different clothes and even though its not that obvious it could have improved the effect.


6. What did others say about your production?

Others said that are production was good however the audio could have been better as it was hard to make out what the characters were saying. Also that some of the shots could have been improved as they all looked quite similar.  One of the shots that some said that could have been better was the tracking shot. However most people liked the 'here come the girls' scene due to it being funny however to improve it we could have made it slightly longer as it was short but the most liked scene in the film.


7. What have you learnt from completing this task?

I learnt group working skills and I improved my editing skills as well. I learnt to take into consideration everyone in the group's feelings about the work and what they were and were not comfortable with. With editing, I learnt how to edit as a group instead of by myself (like the Juno production).


 8. Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing your final film opening?

It will be significant to my final film opening because of the skills I have learnt from this will create a better overall finished product, due to mostly learning from my mistakes.
