EVALUATION- Question 6
We used our mobile phones to take pictures and videos as a proof of evidence. We uploaded it to the blog as it was part of one of our blog post where you had to show evidence of filming. Once we took the shots, we saved all of them into the SD card. Once we edited our final piece we saved all our film into the video drive.We used Youtube to upload our rough cuts to show improvement and compare it with out our final film. Finally, you can see our film which is uploaded on vimeo.

Positive:

- Good match cut shots to show the contrast between the boy and the girl.
- Liked the mise-en-scene from the boys perspective as it showed a clear understanding of his character and personality.
Negative:
- Jerky camera movement - a tripod needs to be used so it looks professional and steady.
- Girls mis-en-scene needs to be more clear as it doesn't show her character very well and we don't get a sense of the type of person she is and what she likes.
- Create a sound scape, don't leave sound scape and titles unplanned.
- Re shoot dark scenes because lighting in all shots are different. It was supposed to be a bright and energetic film with clear lighting but it is quite dark and doesn't match with our planning and genre of the film.
Things to improve:
Things to improve:
- Add more lighting.
- More steady on the Camera as it was shaky.
- Better mis-en-scene of the girl and show her character more.

Analysis of blog
Analysing strengths and weaknesses in the blog
Strengths:
- Good visuals that are relevant and back up our text
- Good and important information from text
- Work load was spread out evenly in our group so no one had too many tasks to complete (it was fair).
Weaknesses:
- Sometimes we have too much text which makes it quite plain and boring
- We are not very creative as we follow the same scheme of blog posts
- Our blog posts limit isn't low however it could be a lot higher
Threats:
- The blogs appearance is quite dull so a change is needed
- Some posts are not detailed enough therefore there is minimal marks we can receive
Opportunities:
- To make our blog posts more creative and less dull by having more images, GIF's etc. supported by relevant text
- To do more blog posts
Setting Targets:
- Don't leave work until last minute as then you have a lot of catching up to do
- Put effort and time into all of my blog posts as some are better than others (no consistency)
- Do my work to the best of my ability all of the time as there have been times where the blog could be a lot better if there was more effort involved

PRODUCTION - Rought cut evaluation
Rough Cut Evaluation
Our rough cut was not the greatest piece in the world however it did have elements of it that worked such as the story which could be understood. The girls scene was shot well in a good lighting and had good angles which worked. At the beginning we had many cross cuts which made the opening work well. However this was interrupted as we did not have enough time to shoot all of our shots due to complications with filming times, travelling to film and not bringing equipment back on time resulting in filming only during school hours.
The shots from the boy were all dark and needed retaking. This was because they were taken during the evening so we were not getting any natural daylight which we were reliant on as we did not bring any other lighting equipment. Therefore we know next time to film during the day or bring extra lighting when needed.
