Skills Development - Planning

Compared to last year's AS production work, I believe that there as been a huge improvement. In terms of organisation skills and the amount of blogs done during filming has been a lot better this year. However the skills I picked up last year such as how to edit whilst using final cut pro and so on, I did take with me through to A2 and took that into consideration.  

My group and I made sure that we planned before hand what we would do in every session whether that be filming, editing or discussing. We tried to keep the blog up to date by posting what we planned to do and video's from the behind the scenes from filming. Despite having problems logging into blogger I think this helped, because if one of us were off for that lesson we would have had a run though on blogger so we could catch up.  

I think we spent our time wisely and communication within our group progressed as we kept in contact to tell each other where/when to meet up to film. Although it took us some time to get into the flow of filming and get the exact shots we wanted, in this situation bringing along our story would have helped us as sometimes we lost track of what we wanted to incorporate within our filming; whereas last year we took our storyboard with us for every filming session. Also at the beginning of our planning process we were very worried and didn't have a solid direction for our music video. 

However I still strongly believe that in terms of planning especially there has been a big development, and if we keep on track for finish our editing -we can end up with a successful outcome.
