Film Evaluation: By Sophie Dow

Evaluation of Production

Rapire

It took us approximately 5 weeks to film and edit our production, and I am very pleased we the final outcome. I think the film title Rapire, which is Italian for kidnap, is perfect for the storyline because it is based on a child being kid napped.

Overall everything ran smoothly throughout this project; however we did come across a few problems. For example when we were filming a strong wind picked up and this affected the sound quality of our production, some clips were so badly affected that we had to cut them out completely.

During editing we discovered that there were only a limited amount of special effects, this was a problem because we had plans to edit all the clips to make them have a disorientated atmosphere. We were going to transfer our work to another Apple Mac computer, which had a larger variety of effects. However it would have taken hours to transfer and we would have wasted 3 lessons. Therefore we stayed put with what we had.

If we had the chance to redo our film, we would definitely make some changes and improvements. We would ensure we are fully prepared for filming e.g. good weather conditions, we would make sure the dialogue was at a high sound quality, use more suitable lighting and ensure we used equipment that has all the features we needs e.g. a appropriate computer.

I am extremely happy with our film Rapire, and I fully enjoyed this project. Overall I don’t think there is any major disadvantage within our production.
