Final Evaluation- Charlotte Coyle

Over all I felt that our thriller production went well. I felt that our production for filled everything we wanted it to be. It was suitable for our target audience; this is shown from our questionnaire results. Another thing shown from our questionnaire was the certificate rating given as 12a, which is the same as we wanted our film to be.

We had many problems throughout the filming, but as a group we were able to work past these. I feel that our biggest problem was getting used to the new version of iMovie as we were unable to get on with our work for some time as we had to come to terms with all the few features. Also as cutting scenes was different to the version of iMovie we had previously used this took a lot longer than previously anticipated. We are also used to putting our film from the tape’s to the Apple Mac’s via a firewire quickly and easily, this however took a while on the new version as we has to work out how to do it. Many people would see working with a three year old child and a dog a problem, however our group saw it as a challenge. By using Sophie’s niece and dog, they were both used to listening to her and doing as they are told. For Charley, having her mum, Emma, playing her mum within the thriller it is convincing to the audience their bond, as they are actually mother and daughter.

If we were to do this production again, a key point would have to been more organized. As with the day with film we just randomly picked when the actors were able to be in it, it was just by chance it was good weather. Even though it was windy we were able to work past this, this although has been a learning curve together and if we have to for fill another production in media we will know to organize our time better.

I really enjoyed working on this production and I hope I get the opportunity to do something similar again.
