MEST4 Preliminary exercise: evaluation

1) Why did you choose this particular recreation and how does it link to your main production?

We chose this because for my critical investigation was looking at superheroes and my partner was looking into the representation of riots with newspapers. This gave the idea to recreate a scene from spiderman 2 a superhero movie and then the main scene was a newspaper industry talking about headlines of the new villain. This also linked with my partner as to newspapers were involved and representation.

2) What difficulties did you face in producing this recreation?

The room was too small to shoot and the lighting was not greatest as to the filming was done at night but in the video it is day.
3) What are the strengths of the production?

The strengths was the cast and the shots were all the best and it would mean that we did this when tasked about a week ago meaning that we can deal with the pressure. 
4) What aspects would you look to improve?

The cuts and pace needs to be quicker because it was slow to see my facial expression as it should of been quicker as to the original and i would improve by location as i need to have a bigger office.
5) What lessons will you take from this process that will help you with your main production?

Editing cuts need to be quick and the shots need to be clear. Film in the right time of day so that it looks the right way my group wants. The lesson taught me that the editing is the important as there shouldn't be pauses if its a running shot.
6) Now that you are ready to start your actual linked production, explain clearly what you will be creating and how confident you are in delivering this.

We are going to do riots against LGBT superheroes and we are going have 2 locations a car/car park and a office where there will be journalists talking and for the car park there will be a discussion on a riot being created and bringing people in. The main idea of this is to bring a reporters point of view and the riots point of view as to the way they see it. It is going to be a short film of representation.
