What targets will you set yourself for G324 next year-When you will make a trailer?

Our main problem when creating our opening two minutes what the lack of preparation we did. This meant that quite a lot of the time were making up things as we go. This lead to us becoming very stressed because we didn't have enough time to choose what we wanted to do and film. The quality of our finished product would of also been a lot better because we would of been able to add things which we couldn't due to time restrictions. If we had planned we would of finished our filming a lot quicker which would mean we would have lot more time to edit and evaluate; this would of made our lives a lot easier.

At the end of editing we had to add the titles, however when we got to it we hadn't done much research on types of fonts used in thriller movies which meant we didn't know what type of font to use. This meant we had to re-research ideas for titles and watch more opening two minutes to get some idea, this was quite time consuming. From the mistakes we made in this project I would have learnt that I need to do more research whilst I had the time.

We found whilst using adobe that a lot of things went wrong, were not entirely sure why, but we came to the conclusion that at the beginning of using it we set it to the wrong setting. Next time we use this we will have to make sure that we use the programme correctly and in a responsible manner. Again this would have significantly decreased our stress and time wasting.

Although it sound extremely cringe worthy, I think that if we enjoyed the experience a lot more the quality would have been better. Whilst filming we seemed to get bored incredibly easily which meant we gave up a lot easier and not aiming for excellence. I think this was also due to the choices of locations. The weather when filming was extremely cold which meant we wanted to get the filming over and done with as soon as possible also affecting the quality of work. Quite a few times we had to suddenly re-organise our plans for filming due to the weather, if we checked the weather before maybe this would have helped.

Overall, there is a recurring factor which keeps coming up which is the lack of preparation and organisation we had , this is for definite mine and the rest our groups main aim for next year because I truly believe that if we did this that our movie would of been better and we would of finished all our work probably a month in advanced, helping us to revise earlier for our media exam.
