Prelim Task - Somme Survivor


This is my first film - Somme Survivor



1) Who did you work with and how did you manage the task between you? 


To film this task we were put into groups and my group was Me, Ben and Will. We were then given a genre and the genre we received documentary we were quite happy with this genre because we had a lot of ideas, which we could film about. We discussed what to film but after a long discussion we decided to film about the War. We chose this because of a recent television series Our World War this series gave us a lot of inspiration because they filmed in much the same way as we wanted to. 



2) How did you plan your sequence? What processes did you use? What theories did you try to take in to account?

To plan this sequence we covered a long process of storyboarding in order to get all shots in the correct places enabling the film to be filmed quickly and correctly meaning we did not have to re film many shots. We used post it notes to write out the story board saving us having to redo page after page of storyboard instead we could just move the post its around. We tried to keep an enigma code 



3) What technology did you use to complete the task, and how did you use it?

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


5) How successful was your sequence? Please identify what worked well, and with hindsight, what would you improve/do differently? What did others say about your production?


6) What have you learnt from completing this task? Looking ahead, how will this learning be significant when completing the rest of your foundation coursework, do you think?
