Production Log 18

I think overall the production of the film was very original and our finished product was successful keeping true to our research that we did early in pre production. I think the way we planned it and how we decide the story and the opening sequence would be was very well executed and became an original story that is based upon real life events, the planning stage was very well organised and we got the work done quickly efficiently without that many problems. We had good actors that helped use film as they got the work done and stayed true to the role that they had to portray and they were reliable and they communicated with us very well, the were not professional actor but this was what we wanted as it sated true to film 4's ethos.

The way we portrayed our conventions worked very well and this helped create the BSR film opening sequence. For the production stage I think contributed very well to the BSR opening sequence because I was good at directing and I had help with my partner as well, and I did the camera work for the opening sequence so I made sure that things went they way it had to on the plan even thou there was some complications, the camera shots were very steady and had little to no shake apart vibrations, I also contributed some ideas that helped us add to our production stage so did my partner. I think that my group functioned very well together during the production stage as we all did our roles and everyone listened to what we had to do, for instance we had no arguing or anything complications we just got the work done which was very helpful. Our group helped us ensure that we had to make other spare time out of school to film the rest of our BSR opening sequence and because of this our reliability had increased and for future projects that would be a primary choice.

The key strengths our opening sequence I would say is the initials idea such as modern day slavery and the themes that were also in it. I like how the smash mouth opening of our sequence it flowed and worked very well and made it interesting to watch and helped engage the audience, and the use of our conventions for BSR opening sequence which all helped the atmosphere and locations. Finally for the production process of my BSR the things that I would improve such as more time on the pre production such as maybe more various shots and camera movement that could be incorporated in the shooting script, and I would make sure that we filmed with more people if I was going to film in some locations because of gangs and threats. I would also look for music in an earlier stage as finding music later on was a challenge.
