This project involved in creating a short film including the pre-‐production, production and post-‐production stages. The short film had to be 2-‐3 minutes about a suburb of London in the future, for example in the year 2054. We had to choose 3 out of 5 technical rules which were, 1) black and white, 2) only outdoor locations, 3) locked camera on tripod (no zoom, no pan, no tilt), 4) at least two tracking shots included and 5) fast editing. Before filming we had to decide on them so we can film accordingly. We chose number 1, 2 and 5. During the project my role was the editing and taking care of behind the scenes stuff. The behind the scenes ‘stuff’ included taking pictures of the others filming, making sure we have enough shots and making sure that it somewhat matches the storyboard. The editing role was allocated to me as my skills was best used in that due to previous experiences. Additionally, I was not keen on filming as I don’t quite know the difference between a ‘good’ shot and a ‘bad’ shot. I felt the editing process went really well for me as I have a skill of picking up most new software or programmes quite fast. I was new to Final Cut Pro however it wasn't too different from Adobe Premiere Pro which I was familiar with. As soon as I knew which tool was used for what and a few shortcuts that made the editing swifter, I was able to edit it straight away without any hassle. Overall, the main thing that went well in this project as a whole was the planning and time management. As a group we managed to film in 2 days which is what we had planned and we left enough time to edit it. The editing was also done in two days which left us enough time for improvement if needed. If I was to improve it or do this project again I would like to explore more into the sound part of the project to make the short film more 'entertaining' by creating my own sounds or even going through GarageBand in more depth. Additionally, with the same brief, I would like to improve on the research in terms of researching particular directors and their methods of filming. This would enable us to film in different ways using different equipment such as tracking shot.
