For our coursework we have had to create an evaluation. In previous years this has been a 2000 word essay but due to our new syllabus, we have been given the option to create a video evaluation. Our group decided to take this on and we worked as a group and set out our answers according to the questions we had been given.
The main focus of the evaluation was what technologies we had used and how they helped us. We spoke about the blogs' we had made, the editing suite we used, and the technology we used for filming. We also spoke about what company we thought would distribute our product and we spoke about how we challenged codes and conventions of a thriller film.
All in all, i think the evaluation was successful as we all had an input into each answer and i think that was the main positive of our group throughout this project. We all contributed in our own ways and i think that's what has made our work a success.

Our Filming So Far
We have decided as a group to create a post in which we can update when we last filmed for our project. The idea of this being after we have filmed we can talk about what we feel went well and what didn't go so well. Also we can talk about what we have gained by filming a certain sequence whether that be good parts we can use for the film or extras we can use in an out-take part on our final film.
Wednesday 4th February
Today we went to stuarts house and started our production. We decided because of the bad weather that we would only film the start of the film as we did no want to damage the equiptment. We filmed our first 6 scenes leaving us with another 8 to do the next time we can film. We have filmed all the scenes with our main character, Luke. The next chance we can film we will get our other two characters and film their scenes.
Tuesday 10th February
Today we managed to film the rest of our production today as we had all of our actors available
Now we hav all our scenes we can capture them and start to edit our final production.

Task 7: Role Allocation
For our thriller film as a group we needed to decide who would do what in terms of making our production (film). Between us we have decided on these roles;
Matt- Director
Stuart- Editor
Jack- Filming
We have chosen these ideas because of what we found out from making our preliminary tasks.
During this task we found that Matt was a good leader in the team and could work out what needed to be filmed and how. We found that Stuart was very good in the editing suite . He created a short trailer based on star wars which worked out to be one of the best in the class. Finally I found that I was good with the camera in my hands. I felt comfortable trying some of the harder shots such as shot reverse shots and the 180' Rule shots. Because of this we have decided on these role allocations.
