production Log 18

I feel that our production process was very well executed overall, as me and my partner kept to more or less every deadline and planned our entire production process out quite well. At the beginning of the year I was confused on the idea of 'British social realism' but by now, I feel that I have made a huge progress and almost know all the BSR conventions and themes off by heart. I feel that I will be able to explain the definition of British social realism to a new learner quite clearly for them to understand.

I believe that I contributed towards my production process quite well. The storyline line was Written entirely by me, Me and my partner chose this storyline as it was original, something that occurs within reality but isn't shown as often as the typical themes that are shown, such as; drugs and violence. Halima directed the film, then we both composed the music and done the editing together. 

I think that my group functioned very well, as me and my partner are close friends we had similar ideas and opinions when it came to creating the film. Due to the fact that I was close friends with Halima it was good when it came to making last minute changes or plans as we always had a way of contacting one another. Although we worked really well together, me and my partner sometimes got distracted during class time whilst working on the iMac's, as we often went off topic quite easily. Overall, I believe that I wouldn't have accomplished this production without the strong cooperation that I had with my group. 

The key strengths of my progress would have to be the editing of the footage. I think that this stage was very easy to do, in fact I enjoyed doing it as it was interesting to see the scenes in different pace and lengths. 

In the future to improve my production, I think that I would re-shoot each scene more then 2 times so that when it comes to the editing if one doesn't look right I would have more choices and options that I can use to edit together. Another thing I would do is to make sure that my footage meets the required time of 2 minutes long, because this time round me and my partner went overtime and had to cut a lot of the scenes out to make it 2 minutes.
