Corporate Film Evaluation
In this post i will reflecting on my corporate film for OakDale School and the process of how we made this corporate film for this school step by step and reflect on how things could of improved or how things could of been better.
When we started this unit we were assigned teams i was assigned a team with two others in this group we had a team leader who was in charge of me and the other member of my team. We then were assigned roles to do on our team blog i was assigned mainly research and development for ideas that we could use for our corporate film. Later we had meetings to come to an agreement on how we would film this and what we would use as well as taking notes and feedback from other members of the group we all had similar ideas and agreed on our final target. We then agreed on departments we were best at i was assigned with taking photos and recording shots in this film and was sub editor to the main editor.
We then booked days to film at the school where we met the staff who had previously sent us a brief to work from after our meeting we then went on to film in the school getting our shots,audio and interviews. We had a list of children who could be filmed and those who couldn't those who couldn't were removed or taken out of shot.
The editor was our team leader and in charge of making the film and finally the other member was in charge of audio and interviews in this film. Over the course of the coming weeks the editor was focused on finishing this film as i was helping her with this film through a lot of the steps giving feed back and how we can change it to fit the brief we were assigned.
At the time when we were chosen as a team i was slightly unsure of how we would react as i had never worked with either members of my team before however i am glad to say that all of us worked well together and all worked hard on what we were assigned to do and all worked well together on shooting days. However there were times me and my team felt under pressure due to our client consistently changing there mind again and again it was hard for us to determine a final product for us to make due to the constant changes.
The whole experience was different to what i am use to doing what was good about it was the fact i got to come out of my comfort zone and mix with people who had different skills to mine and how we could all use our strengths to help benefit each other and help each other get a good grade from what we could put on the table. It was also a chance to learn from the others and to be able to produce something with other people in which all put our time and effort into it. However not all was good due to the lack of equipment we were provided after most of it was gone for other shoots and having faulty or none working equipment with either no power or half broken tripods this caused much dispute between the three of us and the other teams who had previously checked out the equipment leaving my team to struggle. However despite what was thrown at us we were able to over come and created a great piece of work together.
As i previously mentioned with our lack of equipment i could sense that my team leader was frustrated with the result of our lack of supplies. However after much talk and conference with our disputer we were able to obtain some more tech and then me and the team leader went back to film more footage as we were behind as our equipment was faulty or didn't have any memory for us to use we were both agitated by the lack of equipment and the consistency of how people were taken unneeded amount of equipment or not charging what we needed.
In conclusion the team and i produced a good piece of work despite our mishap with the lack of equipment that we were provided with and how we were left with the faulty equipment to work with. However we all worked well together and all used our strengths to make a good corporate movie as well get to know one another much more and it will help us in the future open up more if we were placed in the team once again.
If i was able to go back and do this again the only thing i would change is getting the equipment much early and having back ups just incase to save our progress also coming to firm and contracted agreement with out client so we didn't go through so many unnecessary changes and giving us less time to make the product for the school it was changes that were not needed and were often reverted back to the original as we had it before.
