I feel that I contributed to every stage of the whole process, as did Liam. I feel we both had to contribute alot of time and effort because our group is only a small group, with two members. Other groups could split their workload three ways where we had to always do half each.
Starting with the planning side of the process, myself and Liam split the pages we had to do in half so we both did an equal amount. I remember in particular that I did things like the IMDB research, storyboards and textual analysis sheets which required watching two horror films as research. I also took my camera and took pictures when went to a potential location for our horrorfilm with Liam, and I helped construct the Powerpoint we did on our film 'Alone'. Here is a picture of the IMDB research I did.
Furthermore, I think I contributed well to the production of the film. I went to every filming session apart from one which I could not make, for medical reasons. I also always took half our equipment to and from college, with liam taking the other half. When we were filming, I tended to operate the camera whilst Liam looked over the shoot, ensuring the footage we was getting would be valid and good enough to use in our production. Overall, I think we both contributed well to this phase of the process. Here is an example of a storyboard we would use when filming to ensure we were on track.
The last few stages of the whole process was the post-production stages. The main thing I did in these stages was create the soundtrack for our film, using Garageband. I also did help and advise Liam with the editing side of the side of the process, although the majority of the credit goes to Liam for this. Me and Liam both kept our blog up to date, normally after Friday lessons. You can see where we have both blogged we the "J&L." signature at the end of each post. When the deadline was nearing, both me and Liam met up afew times outside of scheduled lesson times to finish off our film and make sure everything ran smoothly. On one of my days where no lessons are scheduled for me, I came in and worked by myself on our film/sound for around an hour and a half, because Liam had to leave for his lesson, which is no fault of his. I think this is one of the many things I did which showed I was very commited to this film. Below is a shot of some of the work I did on garageband, which went towards the final sound in the film.
Alltogether, I think I contributed greatly to all areas of this whole process. Also, I feel that what I added to this film I did so to the best of my ability. Another point to add was that I was always up for any extra work and was constantly trying to arrange dates and think of the best possible thing for our film. But most of all, I feel that putting this film togther was a good team effort, and both of us contributed individual skills to this film, and this is perhaps the main reason I see this film as a success.
