Preliminary Video - Reflection Questions

As part of your research and planning, as well as your skills development, it is essential that you continually reflect on what you have learnt. You need to consider what you have learnt you 'can do', what you 'can't do' and what you 'need to do next'.

Answer the following questions and post them as a mini skills evaluation:

1. What did you find most challenging about recreating your chosen video and why? (remember to think about storyboarding, props, actors, filming, editing, finance)
2. What problems did you face whilst filming? (consider the logistics, could you get everyone together to film, did you have rehearsal time, were you able to frame your shots effectively, could you convincingly play/mime?)
3. How did you overcome these problems? (did you alter shots/props, solve lighting issues etc?)
4. Which problems could you not overcome? (were some instruments harder than others to source, could you recreate the look of an artist, could you dress the set, were some shots impossible to emulate?)
5. What next steps are you going to take? (learn how to: film/edit/light/perform/makeup etc)
