Encounterd problems during the task

During our task we encountered many problems such as jumps in the film when we change from angle to angle, we could have made this smoother by thinking about this during filming and making sure that the actors knew where there body parts were the whole time. Also we did not leave ourselfs as much time as i would have liked, this error in time created a great pressure on my shoulders. We did manage to get the film finished early in the end but as we went to save the finished product the systems crashed and we lost all of our editing, therefore we had to re edit the shots we had and input the film tracks again and edit the sound tracks noise levels because we didnt want the sound track to overpower the dialogue. This error costed us a lot and we realised how close the deadline was and how hard we would have to work in order to get the product up it its high quality standard that it origionally was. The next day we started to re edit and after a clear look over the un eddited tape I feel that me and my partner debated more and we actually made the peice look better then the origional.

If there was any changed i would have liked to put into the film it would be the use of a high angle shot because I feel that this shot is a great way to portray emotion and really show the setting off to the audiance. But this shot was very hard to get because of the lack of equipment we had and we also had to think of safety because getting up high in the area we was in ment climbing on a tree and that would have been a safety hazard therefore I decided that we should not shoot this shot.

Also one more problem we had when shooting the film is the fact that we had 2 of our group members unfortunatly drop out of the idea, one of our group members wanted to switch task and the other team member dropped out of school so therefor it was just me one other partner working on this film. This created many problems such as getting actors to perform in the film, this was hard becuase no one really had the time to help my group out because they had to focus on there work. I worked around this and decided to shoot this with people that were not in my class and had free periods when i had my time to shoot the film, This allowed me to round up a large number of people to be in the film such as the peopl chasing us and to get a teacher that was not teaching to shoot the boss scene.

Also one more thing i would like to have added in is an extreme close up in the bosses scene of his cigarette being crushed into the table, this would have been a great shot to get and would have portrayed much emotion into the piece, it would have also been a great metaphore for how the boss could instantanieously make someones life hell.

Overall i am please with the piece i have created and I feel it was made to a high quality. Also i can see how the research i have done has allowed me to create a great prospective of these mob type gangsters and portray my view of them and get an audiance to relate towards it.
