In this final section I will be evaluating the different aspects of my own performance and commenting on how this could be improved. The different aspects are:
- Production of Research and Planning
- Production of Media Products (Trailer, Poster and Magazine Front Cover)
- Time Keeping
- Working In A team
- Production of Research and Planning
As this section was simplistic in terms of researching information about the genre , I experienced no difficulties and had effective strategies for gathering information which involved being organised , methodical and thorough. In terms of planning the project, this was done with my other team members. We were ultimately able to complete this aspect to the satisfaction of the team but had to overcome initial differences in certain areas. .Tasks were distributed fairly between the three of us but we initially found it hard to agree on the treatment of the trailer, so much so that we ended up producing four different treatments. Another problem that occurred in this section was that we initially did not know we had to post all our work onto the blogger website. We had collated all our work into one presentation and subsequently had to convert it all to make it suitable for the blogger website.
Production of Media Products
Trailer: This section of the production part of the project was done as a group. We completed our trailer efficiently, using my own personal laptop and a teammate’s camera. As we had our own equipment, it meant that we could produce the trailer without having to source materials elsewhere. We took most of our shots very quickly at the production stage of the project, and had soon developed a basis for the trailer. As a group we had no problem sharing the workload and unlike the planning stage, we agreed on most decisions, with the exception of an issue over sound and pace as we started to develop the trailer more. To rectify this, we incorporated more short, almost ‘blip’ like shots, and I located a website that allowed you to download professional sounds which suited our purposes exactly.
Film Poster & Magazine Front Cover: These where my ancillary tasks and had to be completed on my own. These posed more of a problem than the trailer as I had some software issues. I firstly opted to create them both on Adobe Photoshop, but changed my mind when I found the software too hard to use. I managed to complete them using Microsoft publisher to a professional standard after producing four drafts and a final piece for each.
Time Keeping
This is referring to how well I was able to meet deadlines and how I managed the time I needed to complete this project. I would say I did this effectively even though my ancillary tasks took longer than I had planned. This overlapped onto time I needed to do this evaluation comfortably but hopefully has not affected the standard of it.
Working In A Team
I found working in a team to be a positive experience. My team members had similar opinions, views, work ethics and focuses. We were able to resolve problems in a friendly and constructive manner, tasks were divided fairly and everyone's opinions and suggestions were valued. I felt we worked very efficiently as a group.
