Complete

After numerous weeks of completing my evaluation of my AS Media horror film that i have created. This was after completing numerous excersises that helped with the production, editing and distribution of my horror film. In my evaluation i had to include things such as, the research we carried out, the feedback we were given aswell as creating a film poster that suited our film. We also had to comment on how our film follows the conventions of the sub-genre and how it targets our audience.

Garage Band tutorial

Here is a tutorial on how to use garage band which is a program that we had to use to create the music for our horror film and assure that it fitted well. Tutorials on Youtube were very important so we were able to make the music after never using the program before.

Issues we faced

During the process of filming we came across 2 problems that effected our filming. One of these was the weather. Because we began filming in February time it meant that the weather was changing making it effecting the date of our filming. This was because of issues like the snow which meant that if we were to film, we wouldn't be able to assure it would be there again meaning that the continuity of our film wouldnt be good.
Another issue faced was the booking out of camera's, as we wanted to book out a camera at the point of half term, however there were none available. This meant that in future we would have make sure we were more organised with booking out camera equipment.

If we were to do it again..

If we were to start the process of our filming again i think i would ensure that all the planning was appropriate so we new exactly what shot were needed and could follow these very good.
I think that the group i worked in were really well as we all stayed well communicated so we knew when and where to meet in order for us to film our project. I think the story line of our horror was very good however i think we needed to be more prepared for issues that we faced during shooting.

Transitions

Here is an example of a transition that we used within our horror sequence. I think that this was very effectively used as it made the shots flow without jumping and helped the continuity of these shots. I also believe that this shot helped the audience understand the setting and the storyline of what was happening at this point as they flowed into eachother.
