Not bad for a first go...

We just finished doing our first practice movie. It was a promotional video of the school (Chenderit) and i would say that we just about pulled it off..
We set out with loads of ideas that were really impractical, especially for a short practise film, and in the end we got a very short montage which was completely different to what we originally planned. 
I definitely would say that the experience taught me a lot about working in a group as well as the skills involved with making a movie. Our group was originally a 3 but for the last couple of lessons, it was a 4. Luckily for us, we had a student who had already done media for GCSE and wanted to be a director in the future. Unluckily for us, however, he wasn't in the lesson in which we collected footage, so me and the other member of my team collected what we could, but it was difficult to do what we had originally planned, so we filmed what we could) and hoped that it would be enough- it wasn't. 
I learned a lot from this project. The main things would be:


  • Whether to work in a team or not
  • How to manage time
  • Planning is important!
