6/11/10 - Reflection

We got today's film class to finalize and add the finishing touches to our film and burn it to a dvd. As we had completed most of our film already, there were little changes we could make as there wasn't enough time for any major changes and little time to do anything else. Therefore, we decided to watch our film from the start and try to see if we can spot any rough cuts or glitches in our film. As we did, we noticed a few detailed that needed correction that we overlooked while we were editing. Some of the transitions weren't as smooth as i thought they would be and needed to be fixed. From this, I've learnt that when editing a film, you should always replay the footage you have edited to see the overall product and not just a small portion. This would avoid overlooking minor faults in our film like we did. 

I was quite happy with the final outcome as the soundtrack fitted nicely with the video and the transitions were smooth and the color correction made paid off. We then decided this was going to be our final project and followed the necessary instructions to burn the video to the dvd. 

Some problems we encountered today were finding mistakes in our film that we could improve on. I thought I was open minded as i was open to suggestions from my peers and their opinion on how our film could be improved. Our group also worked well in taking in the advice and suggesting on what ways our film could be improved.

I have enjoyed this project and had fun creating this film with my group. We worked well together and had fun during the process. The time we spent on editing also paid off as we had a decent film by the end and we were quite satisfied with our final product. When we finally came to watch it, we decided that it turned out pretty good, even though there are a few places where we could improve on, like doing more editing with the sound.
