For AS i think that there are some things that i could have done better. For example, when we were making our video i think that my planning skills could of been stronger. Our group did make a time line of what we wanted to shoot but when we got to the area where we were filming, we found that the fact that it was on a used road meant that we had to rush and do some of the shots on a strict time line. This meant that it was difficult to keep looking back at the plans of our shots so for some of them we had to just get as many different camera angles as possible and change some of our idea's. This meant that when we looked back at all of our planning and the actual shots that we had taken, some of them didn't match up.
I think that another thing that i could of done better was to communicate with my group better and work together sharing all of the tasks equally. Because we didn't assign individual people individual tasks it meant that people weren't clear of exactly what they were meant to be doing, resulting in some people doing more work then others. I think that in the A2 coursework i will make sure that everyone has set tasks to do, meaning that everyone pulls their own weight and that everyone does the same amount as the others in the group.
One more thing that i would of done differently given the chance, is that i would of tried to film in a different location. Although the location that we chose was perfect for what we needed, it was difficult to film. Because it was a road we had to make sure that we had done all the correct safety checks and that we had people standing at both ends of the road looking out for cars. It also meant that we had to keep stopping filming, and due to the weather we weren't sure if we were going to get all of the shots done in time with the weather as good as it was that day. It did mean that we were on a tight schedule and meant that we didn't know if we would have to come back the next day to try and shoot some more of it. This meant that if the weather wasn't exactly the same then the shots would look weird as you'd be able to tell that it was all filmed on a different day.
Something that i did well was that i think i managed our group well. We all decided that i would be 'group leader'. I think that apart from the fact that sometimes we didn't assign tasks, we worked well together and that i managed to make sure that everyone was happy with what they were doing and everyone got the chance to put their input into the video. No one in our group really had any complaints with what we were doing, meaning that we were all able to work well together.
Another thing that i think i did well in was the fact that i managed to learn how to use the Mac computers effectively and learnt how to use the programmes that we needed to use. I watched a lot of you-tube video's, and spent time just playing on them, getting to grips with how to cut and edit a video. This meant that when we had to edit our own video, i had picked up a lot of skills that i was able to introduce to my group and use on the making of our video. I think that this helped me to feel confident and comfortable with the computers meaning that i didn't mind working on them because i had already learnt how to use them.
