Evaluation

Drama

I quite enjoyed working on this project, however I feel I could have done much better. My drama did not turn out the way that I would have like and I feel like my vision as a director reflected in the scenes. This is down to my poor organisation skills, I lacked in this a lot this project and I wish I could change that. 

When it came to finding actors, I found some, however, they kept dropping out on me last minute or was not available when I would have wanted to film, in the end I had to use two actors that had, had no experience with acting before but they had tried my best.

When it came to editing my drama, I struggled a lot, I found that I did not cover all the shots that I wanted, this was mostly my master shots, I feel I did not cover enough of them, or even my smaller shots that I needed, I want to and need to improve on this so I can make editing easier form myself and so that I can feel proud of what I actually create in the end. 

Self Portrait 

When we were first told about the self portrait I was excited because I had many ideas going through my mind that I would like to have tried, however in the end this did not happen because I lacked in being organised for this project. I would have liked to be able to have filmed in the place that I grew up, Scotland, however I knew this would have been impossible as it is so far away and a very long drive away, so I opted for a beach around Kent that was similar to one in Scotland. 

Overall, I was quite disappointed in myself with how I went about this project, if I was to go back and do again, I would make sure that I plan better and have everything organised better, I want to be able to reflect on all the things I did wrong with this project and do much better on the next project so that I can improve not only myself but also my work and creative skills.
