I think that our planning was one of the most successful parts
of our coursework.
Our initial brainstorm sheets were useful at helping us refine our ideas into smaller shot lists - which we then converted into a shooting schedule where each shoot was mostly separated by location and actors available on the day.
Because of this we were able to use a large cast of people, organize many shoots, have creative freedom in taking "spur-of-the-moment" shots without having to compromise on what we wanted.
The Schedule was particularly useful as we came back to it after login each shot and could evaluation what we were doing, when, and could amend our plans to fit around each over.
Research
Our research was also successful but arguable less useful towards the creation of our final product. My best research was the director study and initial video study as I learnt the conventions of the genre and could draw inspiration for our own video. The student work study was less useful as - although it was full of many conventions and showed us the quality of work which deserved the top marks - the genre conventions didn't tie in well with what we wanted to create.
One downside of the director study also was that as we'd focused heavily on one persons work - I started to be very similar to the kind of video they would create meaning, arguable, it lacked originality.
(This is further talked about in my question 4 evaluation).
