post-production reflection

During post-production there were some difficulties and some positive aspects.

Difficulties:

During the Post-production the difficulties were updating the blog every single time we finished one thing on the list. Having to keep reminding and writing the things up on the blog was really annoying. Another thing that really got to me was when the files got corrupted or unsaved or even deleted by accident. This helped me to realise that in the future saving files frequently would be really helpful. During the Post-production our group had some problems as to handing the shots to one and another. I also had damaged my USB which therefore didn’t help me at all. The most annoying thing that really got to me was the EDL. Writing all my Edits into a piece of paper and explaining it all of what shot it was and what time it started and stopped. This had frustrated me the most as it was time consuming and very boring.

Positive Aspect:

Setting the Difficulties aside there were a few positive aspect overall. For example learning from my mistakes and using them in the future not only for creative media but also other subjects. One of them was managing my time well. I started off doing everything the night before and not getting the high quality that I was aiming for, but with the post-production and the reflection entries, I had managed to keep my times under control. Also the reflection entries has helped me in the right direction as it kept reminding me where I was with my work and also what was going on with my work. The EDL, even though it was frustrating it was helpful as it gave me the exact time that I needed for my film to be a finished film.

Therefore, post-production has helped me to understand better of what directors do before they actually release the actual movie. I have learnt how to work final cut and also to utilize my time properly and lastly, I have learnt how to make a movie.
