So far.

As a group we managed to get the filming done a few days after the coursework deadline but were quickly on track with our editing. Personally I've always found Editing the hardest and most frustrating thing about filming but it's unavoidable and so me and other members of my group began editing. From my preliminary I realised that Editing was a very important and time - consuming thing, that has become even more obvious through Editing our coursework. With the Genre we chose Editing is an enormous part of our film and the facilities aren't available to us but I think that with what we had, we've done really well so far and despite some difficulties - trouble with location (not being able to use the same place twice), trouble with actors (lack of communication) - we're going to do well with the effort we've put in.

Shooting schedule.

Progress so far.

My group failed to meet the coursework deadline for filming and from this we learned that filming takes a lot more organization than we imagined: next time we make a film of any sorts we'll be sure to organize everything a lot better. Personally, I learned not to rely on the internet to get in contact with people because it's not always best.

There were negative aspects to our coursework. For one, we didn't meet the deadline due to health issues amongst the group and so this put us behind but at the same time could not be helped. We also encountered problems with certain parts of our film but it was easily overcome with team work: we all handled points (as stated below) which we were strongest at.

Despite the troubles we had I think that there are a fair few things that were positive about our coursework. I think that the amount of time that we spent on our setting is a positive thing due to the amount of time and effort put into our set we got the best out of the materials that we brought (which were originally at a good value). Certain members of our group are skilled in different area's: Jake took Art in both GCSE and A level, so he handled the artistic design so he designed and drew the tree we used for our setting. Stacey took Drama for GCSE and A level so she handled the make up which helped to bring characters to life, especially the Hung-Helper, who looked more realistic (blood, decaying as an example) and I took English Literature in A level which helped develop the personalities of the characters. Due to the fact that we had Drama facilities available to us our setting had the appropriate lighting which helped set a good atmosphere. Another thing we did really well was our planning, without this it would have been difficult.
