Reflection and Evaluation

Screenwriting is one of my strengths because I have experience with it and for the KitKat advert, I knew what to make each character say and do because I made the storyline,  I just know how to make different characters, I think acting has helped me with it as well  because I had to act as different people and it just helps me imagine it more and go into deep thought as if I'm there as a character seeing what is happening. I think I need to remember the layout for screenwriting as well as  learn more about screenwriting,  I even started my own script.

I have learnt a lot about cinematography, especially when I was in a group  working on our project KitKat advert, I knew that teamwork was important for this project because working well together as a unit we are able to accomplish more than its individual members can do alone, and I work really well within a group because I encourage people within the group to achieve their goals and they may not have realised they could reach on their own along with I make sure no one is left out or feels nervous and everyone is getting along with each other. My role in the project was being a director but I didn't just focus on my ideas for the project asked everyone opinion, for example, when I and my teammates were talking about the settings and everyone thought of different places instead of me saying let's just use my setting, I made everyone setting fit within the storyline . I did this so that my teammates feel that we are a team and we are equal, also I knew wasn't good at filming or editing so I took a role that suited me more, however, I did still try to film and edit  even though that wasn't my strong point but my teammates that have experience in it guided me and helped me, I knew what kind of shots I wanted to take for our advert , so I tried to film it with T guiding me but I was failing even though I was failing I wasn't trying to give up because I know I can improve within filming.

Furthermore, we had a problem where we couldn't fit everything from our storyline into the advert because of the advert would be too long, so I decided to sacrifice my ideas from the storyline and improve on my teammate's ideas as well as helping them confront their fears being in front of the camera. I am an experienced actor and I wanted everyone to be in front of the camera along with everyone trying different roles even if they struggled at it, I  made sure everyone can experience something different and not just something they are used to, so we can all learn new things that can benefit us. I thought about types of shots we are going to use in our advert so we can make our advert look more engaging.

Editing for me has always been a struggle, to be honest, I am inexperienced but I am improving on using premiere where you edit videos, and when I had to put a short horror clip together and I was struggling in the beginning but got helped along with me improving on it, I think for me I have to practice on it more but I am getting hang of it. Also photoshop I often forget how to use the tools, and I think any project that will have to do with photoshop I will struggle in, my advert print for KitKat for me could have done way better.



I would say my role is being a director, always have ideas on what to do for each project and lead at the same time as well as I have good communication skills, my three main targets are working on Photoshop improve on using it, editing videos, I need to film more.
