Final Film, 'Dead Beatz'

This is the our final edit and version of Dead Beatz. It has taken a while to make and endless hours of editing however I am happy with the final result. In future I would do a few things different such as; make more use of time and manage time more appropriately, have a larger range of shot angles so that I have a larger selection to chose from when it comes to editing and taking more time to find a location that suited my films theme better. However, I am contempt with the amount of filming that took place, we co-operated well with our actors so that we were able to film on time and meet our deadlines set. I also found the actual quality of filming to a standard I was satisfied with. I feel my expectations of the film when we originally started were high and looking back they were quite unrealistic but there was a high quality of film as we filmed everything in HD. Light was also an issue and I think if I am to film at night next year I would have to think ahead about how to manage the appropriate lighting conditions. The process of making the film was stressful and fun. Stressful because making a film (even a 2 minute one) seems to take up quite a lot of time and you have a window of time in which to do certain things. Meeting the deadlines also proved to be challenging at times. There were also copyright issues I never imagined would present themselves but with help they were sorted. It is not a task that can be completed in school time you have to give a lot more of your'e own time in order to finish the film. In conclusion I have enjoyed the process and can't wait to start shooting again next year.
