What was your contribution to the process during the planning, production and post production stages? - Sarah Carter

Throughout the entirety of this project, I feel I have taken an active and important role in the planning, production and post production stages. I feel that along with my other group members, I was largely involved in the planning of our film - it was a combined effort to come up with the initial idea for our film and I feel I contributed several very valid ideas in the process of developing and inevitably creating a final plot and storyline. The role of storyboarding our film was split equally between the four of us and I completed my contribution to the best of my ability.

 

I completed the character design sheet myself, along with the BBFC research sheet and I also contributed an equal part to the creation of the script, along with my group members.

With regards to production, I feel that I was very involved in the process of making our film. On several occasions I contibuted with the act of shooting the scenes.I shot several of the initial shots included in the film and tried to have as much input on this front as possible.

I also had a short acting role in this film - this did not restrict my involvement with the production of the project and it meant that we could achieve exactly what was required from the character with ease.

When it comes to props and character design, I contributed a lot of the props involved in the film whilst I also helped with make up and costume.

When editing was involved, I took a less active role whilst still keeping a creative input and opinion with regards to the film. I made sure that I voiced what I thought was good and what I disagreed with openly, along with the rest of the group, so that as a whole we could each have our own opinions and try to make our film as successful as possible. I did, however, contribute towards a large part of the sound production using Garage Band.

Throughout the production process, I made progress on the soundtrack to our film (along with another member of my group) and attempted to create a good, appropriate track worthy of a horror film. Towards the very end of the project, I made sure that the soundtrack was perfected and matched our final edited film well, making final tweaks to the sound. I feel this turned out very successfully.
Overall, I believe that I had a significant role in the entirety of this project and had an effect on how successful out film turned out.
