Completed Depict entry and reflection of pre-production process.

One thing I enjoyed in the pre-production was creating the shot list and the storyboard to match. I enjoyed these tasks the most because it gave me a visual image and structure to the ideas my group had for the DepicT short. It also was the most helpful per-production paperwork because it gave order and allowed us to plan the order, location, sound, type of shot etc. of each and everyone of our shots.

One thing I didn't enjoy was the location recces because I found them boring and too time consuming. However I appreciated doing them because they did help in terms of finding and organizing different locations for the film.

During the production the part that went well was our timing, teamwork and the ability to use a variety of different shots. Timing; we completed filming and editing on schedule and we weren't late for any deadlines. Teamwork; we worked well together and listened to each others ideas and we worked together to finish the production quickly and efficiently. Finally, The ability to use a variety of different shots; we planned and included a verity of different shots to make our film more interesting and to keep the audience watching and to stop them from getting board. If I was to do this task again I would plan my shots more carefully, and make sure that on my budget and location, I can actually film the shots. This is because we had to (last minuet) change are ending, when we realized that we couldn't physically film the shots we wanted. However we were still happy with the final result.

I have learnt that pre-production is incredibly important. It allows time for careful planning of all the shots in detail, which is really helpful when it comes to the actual production of the film. I covers everything that is needed legally and essential for the production to run both successful and legally, with no hassle. This made filming quick, efficient, smooth and simple to do.
