Evaluation Activity 9: Directors' Commentary

Evaluation Activity 8: Targets for G324
Next year, we will be creating a trailer for a film. This will give us the ability to build on what we have learnt this year in terms of filming and editing in order to create a really effective trailer. I think it will be interesting to build upon the use of horror techniques, should we choose this genre, but also to try something new by creating a trailer for a completely different genre to see if we can apply similar techniques to add to the mood of the film. We will be able to use different stages of the film to put the trailer together, meaning we will have the opportunity to use different locations and different parts of the story to create the trailer, which we weren't able to do in our film this year as it focused on one event. Next year, we will be able to use our skills from this year to build upon what we will learn, in order to create an effective trailer for a film, highlighting upon cliches of films as well as making the trailer exciting to entice the audience.
If I were to do this year again, I would definitely do a few things differently. I would make sure we were more organised with our filming plan and more decisive about where we were going to film. We ended up filming in school due to not being able to find a time outside of school where we could all film. Having a plan earlier, would mean we would be prepared for any sudden changes we had to make. We also weren't very organised with a filming schedule. If our location had been different, we would have both been able to film the whole film, which could have meant some parts were different as we had differing opinions on how certain scenes were filmed. The different location might also have added further to the horror genre and made our film more effective as a horror film. I would also make sure we were filming scenes from all angles and changing the way we were filming so we would have extra shots to add to the film if we needed when editing. This is something we didn't really consider during the filming of our film and would've made it look much more professional as we could've done a lot with more footage.
In our next production, we will make sure to consider location and any kind of plans we need to make before starting to film as this will mean that we will be less stressed and less rushed to get it finished, enabling us to create the best trailer we can. Adding different angles and shots will also add to the trailer to make it look more effective and more like an actual trailer for a film. This will include using a good camera and tripod, as well as consider the use of equipment to enhance the sound quality of the dialogue, as well as possibly including our own music to avoid copyrighting. We are aiming, next year, to create an effective trailer that looks realistic and entices the audience, and so filming accurately with good quality sound and editing will allow us to do this.
My personal targets are:
CAMERA - To use different angles and shoot the scene multiple times to increase the variety of footage we will have when editing.
EDITING - Make sure we use more techniques such as shot-reverse-shot to enhance our trailer, as well as completing more accurate and interesting cuts to add to the effect of the genre.
MISE EN SCENE - Think about how to enhance the genre through costume and makeup as well as consider which locations and props will be best suited to our trailer.
SOUND - Think more about how sound is recorded and how to enhance the quality of dialogue and music, as well as considering what mood it will create in relation to the genre of our trailer.
