Drama Project- Evaluation


The drama project was another project that I enjoyed. I think that the only problem that we really encountered were when we were ready to film, our actors were busy with uni, which left us short on time. Thankfully we had a very hard working group who were all involved in every stage of the process, making sure we got everything done as set by our schedule and made sure we had plenty of cover shots for when it came to edit. I think things worked as well as we’d imagined, but the male actor was a lot better than we ever thought. He put a lot of time into our project and his acting was natural and exactly what we asked of him. I took on the role of editor for this project. It was as I expected to be but due to filming so late, I had to put a lot of time in during the end to make sure we got our project completed on time and to a high standard. One of the parts that I’m not overly happy about is the fact that several of our shots were out of focus, I’m not sure whether this was due to the camera man not being used to the camera, or that it looked different on the little camera screen than it does when it goes onto a bigger computer screen. I am pleased with how the final piece came out and I think it is a very strong drama. If I could change anything about the piece I think I would have liked to have been given more close ups to work with and to integrate into the main sections of the piece to break up the longer sections. From this project I think I have learnt that it is important to film early on, to minimise the risk of running out of time and the actors not being available.
