Reflection Film Evaluation 'The Recovery'

Film Screening Evaluation

This afternoon the group screened our Reflection film 'The Recovery' which didn't go according plan in terms of the the of the structure of the film and the final edit which had slight audio problems. The feedback which was given and needed I understood why certain areas of the film where questioned on and think the original idea and thought processes we discussed as a group had the potential to become something unique, but was just unable to deliver certain sections. 

As a group I believe we worked good alongside each other and many ideas were constantly being discussed and explored into. We all brought different ideas to the film and managed to merge them into areas of selected scenes. The area we really should have thought about was not so much the narrative area of the film but instead, visual to help showcase the characters emotion and scenes of confusion. As being a very visual person myself am a bit disappointed with myself that i did not show more example of how we could visually deliver certain images and shots to make the film seem more appealing and understandable from the audience point of view. The reason behind the working on the film is its sole purpose was to be visually creative which i felt I managed to create well in the last group project i worked on with the flower store. 

One group in particular which used a large amount of different shots and locations was Tori's Group which explored the area of emotion through an object, maybe we should have used and explored our most effective shots that were necessary in telling the story better. 

Besides not achieving our initial projection to the visual standard we wanted the learning experience will definitely be taken into consideration next time the when developing this type of film. Especially spending more time on more than just one type of scenario and explore a few other to see which one would suit best for the final product.
