Reflection of The Dark Side to Disney
What did you learn?
From completing the movie task in Term 2 and 3, I have learnt many things that have found to be useful to know. One thing I didn't know before this task, but I know now, is how difficult and time consuming it can be to produce a short film. I had always thought that producing a film was not difficult, but in fact it is. So many shots of a scene is needed to ensure that the film is good quality, and then the editing is the most difficult aspect. Drafts of the movie have to be made and the sound has to be perfect to enhance all the emotions that the audience should feel, such as tension or sadness. I now have much respect for movie makers throughout the world, as it really is a time-consuming and difficult profession to pursue. Another idea I learnt is how hard working as a group can be, and ensuring that all the cast have equal roles and responsibilities with shooting. It was extremely difficult organising times that everyone was available to attend, and making sure that someone would borrow a camera.
What worked well?
After finishing the assignment of creating our movie, The Dark Side To Disney, some things became clear that worked well in our group. One concept that worked well was our storyline. Our storyline of four princesses being cheated on and killing their prince, was very unique and creative which made our movie much interesting. However, this also made our film much more difficult to shoot and took much more time. What also worked well was our costumes, as they clearly represented the four princesses. By using appropriate costumes, it was also identifiable that the flashback was representing the princesses wedding day, as all the girls were wearing white dresses. The music was also very effective within the movie as it was dramatic, and emphasised the different emotions throughout the clip.
What would you change?
There are a numerous amount of aspects that I would change about my project completed, if given the chance. The first thing I would change would be before the editing of the movie took place, the organisation of shooting scenes. We were very behind in filming scenes, as it was difficult to organise a time to all come together as everyone had different commitments on different days. If I were given the chance to re-do this complete assignment, I would definitely plan much before the due date to get together and film sequences, and would make sure to film on the holidays. I'd also plan to have the first prince at the chapel scene again, as Courtney and I were not able to film our scenes with Dane, as he were not there. This ruined our films quality, which overall damaged the whole effect of the movie.
Overall evaluation/extra thoughts?
I overall though of our movie to be good, but could definitely use a lot of improvement. I feel that whilst shooting scenes we lacked time management, but at the end we all came together and worked hard on our movie. We got the job done, but in the last minute which meant that the film was not at the best quality it could have potentially been. I believe we challenged ourselves with a difficult and complicated storyline, and turned out to be worth the effort. I also think that the editing I did made the film seem much more complete, but some more dramatic music could definitely be used. Overall, I believe our group worked well as a team to complete a good movie, but if our time-management was more efficient, the clip could have been much better.
