SECTION SIX OF THE EVALUATION

Research 

To research for the film we used google and YouTube. Google is a very useful software as we were able to search into films we had seen before on numerous websites. However, some of these websites were either inaccurate or wanted money to access information, therefore we had to be cautious  which websites we got information from. YouTube was simple and easy to use as it is a programme which we use almost everyday, just like google. YouTube was useful for looing at videos, however sometimes to search for a specific clip we had to look for the full film, which meant we had to buy the film unless we searched for the clip on some more channels.
We tried not to use Wikipedia, because sometimes the information on Wikipedia is wrong as anyone can change the information, therefore the information we could have gathered could have bee wrong. However, we did use Wikipedia to look into some distributors in the UK.
IMDB was our most reliable source to look for information as this is a professional website which is frequently used for data about films. The only downfall with this site is that it does not include clips from the films, which is what we needed to use as back up as to why we included the things we did in our film which was influenced by other films.
Production
To produce our film we used a various amount of technology. To record the film we used a Panasonic HD camera which had very good quality allowing the audience to see clearly what was going off. Additionally, we used one of the group member's own camera (John), which also had good quality and luckily, the audience didn't notice the change from wen we used John's camera to using the Panasonic HD camera.
To produce the script we used CELTEX which was a very useful software. The layout was easy to understand, however there was a lot of caning between different parts of the script, which made the process of making the script longer than what it should have, as most of the group were not experienced with using CELTEX.
Editing

To edit the film we used Premier Pro. This software is very useful as it allows you to edit the clip and insert sound and create better clips than the original ones we have recorded. However, the layout of the software is quite confusing as things are all over the screen which can be confusing for people who haven't used it before. I found this software quite difficult but I had help from my group when using it.
How we decided which film to make
To actually crate the film we all decided on an idea for a film and we all work together to decide on which one was the most suitable. There was some conflict, however we all came to an agreement to do John's film.
The storyboard was easy to make, however the drawings of the storyboard were limited as we were not so good at drawing which meant we didn't have precise detail to follow from.
