Reflection On Our First Draft.

I think our first draft was quite good, as other than the preliminary, none of us have had any good practise at filming something and editing it.Also, filming this was a big challenge, as for the first day of filming it was just myself and Gledis. And for the second day of filming we had Vera too. Because of this, I think we did really well to film as much as we did. I was really pleased with the audience feedback we got (see images below), on the Facebook post I made, as it showed that we were heading down the right track and already, people enjoyed what we have to offer. I hope that for the future drafts, we improve on this and can really scare our audience (which is our main aim). The only part of this draft that I'm disappointed with is the length of it, as this brought our grade down a significant amount as it was more like a short film than an opening sequence.

Editing

Editing on iMovie isn't as complicated as I thought it would be, and it was actually quite fun seeing a long clip created from short clips :)
I watched this (see below) , as well as being shown by my teacher to edit properly.

My Thoughts On Our Preliminary:

I didn't realise how hard it is for actors till I acted in our preliminary. I found from this that I don't really enjoy acting much, and that I'd rather have more of a chance to film. It was fun editing it together though, as I think our match on action worked really well and we properly followed the 180 degree rule (even though its quite confusing!)
