Last year we made thrillers in groups of 4. Although the production had Some good points, it was very much overshadowed by faults that should of been easily avoided. We were unable to organise ourselves as a group, And people would not turn up to filming either for not knowing that filming is on, or just simply not turning up. This meant we had very limited Footage and had to scrape it together through editing, Although we managed to make some sense of the footage, We did have a lot of continuity errors. Due to the lack of filming, We also had a very short production, which made it difficult to show of our skills.

We also had trouble making the footage make sense, due to a very loose plot, and badly designed script, which meant the characters where barely introduced. the location we chose also wasnt very suitable, as we were unable to find the Back alley we were looking for, which would have made the film make slightly more sense, As it makes it seem like its set in a woodland area, which the film is not meant to be. We also spent a large amount of time filming and editing a short dialogue sequence, and didn't spend much time on the rest of the film, This poor share of filming time lead to a 1 minute film with a 10 second segment that was okay quality.

When we do a new production this year, I think we need to make sure the group works well together, As well as making sure we decide on a plot before we start working out how we are going to show it. We also need to make sure we stay on deadline, in order to get tasks completed on time, in order to not be rushing our work and keeping it to a goods standard.
