Final Blog Reflection on Film

What did you learn?                                                  What worked well?
What would you change?                                          Overall evaluation/extra thoughts


I have learnt many things from this assignment. Such as the use of different camera angles, lighting and setting, how to use the editing program 'Final Cut Pro' and teamwork. Many of these things have worked well for us as a group to achieve the final product of our films. If we had the chance, I would add more shots into the film to emphasize further some important moments and set a base music in the background so that the sounds edited in would flow better. Unfortunately, I was unable to find anything suitable for this film or what I believe would be suitable.

Some things that I have done within the film to hopefully achieve certain things is that at the beginning in the first scene where our main character wakes up the sudden scenes where it you see stripes were meant to be a sign that something will show up soon or that something is missing that something definitely is wrong.
There are certain areas where there is no music at all and I was hoping to do this so that the audience would concentrate on what is being said and hopefully these sudden breaks are not too obvious to the person who watches for the first time, tho it maybe obvious in the second viewing xP There is also a slight build up right after the news is broken to the main character about her boyfriend then a sudden stop to emphasis the importance of this news to the main character.
The whole  film was made into black and white to avoid the different lighting within the film that makes a certain scene seem out of place and the scenes from the main characters memories have been changed to a different colour than just black and white in accordance to the change to the scenes that were coloured.
In the ending, after the scene where the main character was hit there are reverse scenes of all her memories that she has recovered and that she has pieced everything together and then we see her shocked faced before the whole thing ends. This was meant to kind of leave the audience hanging at a climax and think 'what's going to happen next?'.

 It was a very enjoyable experience in the production of this film despite all the problems and how time consuming it was. Even though I have not handed in a film that is exactly how I have imagined to be like, I am still very satisfied with its current state and wouldn't regret anything.
