Cinderella - Review

Cinderella Evalution from Matthew Levesley on Vimeo.

This was the review of our production. In this video, we, as a group, address the difficulties we encountered and how we overcame them. We mention how on one day, we only had 1 of 5 members present, which made production levels very limited as there was limited resources, which was an unfortunate and unforeseen issue. One member was also absent for a 3 week period, meaning he was unavailable whenever we tried to film, so he found his work limited to only editing. We restarted our entire production quite late on in the process, which meant we hurried the planning and a lot of decisions were made on the spot as we had to work with what we had before us. This meant that a lot of scenes were not as well planned out as they should have been, with some mistakes and props being missing and costumes going wrong too. The party was difficult to film as we didn't have a free location out of school, but fortunately we found some willing friends to volunteer as we used the school studio. We also lost a number of scenes during the editing process in the late stages, which meant we had to try to make certain scenes make sense, but we couldn't make amends to all of them. We learnt from the task that the group as a whole are unable to work together, so we decided to split the group into a 2 and a 3 for future projects to ensure the highest level of production and standard of work. Generally, I believe we presented ourselves with the most problems as we didn't put enough effort into the planning, but I feel we showed how capable we are of the task by creating a decent final piece out of a difficult project, and we learnt all of our strengths and weaknesses before we got started on the final Film Noir project.
