AS Production Evaluation

From my first production i was able to extend and increase the vital aspects of media filming editing and planning. i feel like i have developed time keeping skills and organising myself to ensure multiple things can be completed in a short amount of time. The use of shots lists and filming calendars. i was able to keep up to date with filming and editing to ensure i met deadlines. Despite some difficulties we quickly worked out alternatives and ways to work round the difficulties we had. Coming into A2 and using hindsight i believe i will be more organised and able to keep a consistent work ethic throughout the coming year 


From the previous course I was able to learn a lot about film language including camera shots, angles and movement. that i felt was able to help me with my production as I was able to apply it when filming, I feel that my product as a whole was good as it included a variety of camera shots and angles but because of the lack of equipment available and the use of a tripod the film lacked camera movement which could of made my production far more advanced. To improve my current level of media production i will ensure i use more complex camera movement and try to include some special effects and more cinematic treatment to create a far more advanced piece. 

This production taught me the underestimation of the time required to edit a production even on a small scale which i will now go into A2 in an informed position. Now approaching my A2 I will apply everything learned from AS in order to make my future production as strong as possible 


The audiences that have seen my production has given very positive feedback. Communing of the advanced looking piece which has made me confident continuing into A2
