I feel the over all film is of a good standard. There was some dispute at the beginning over the direction of the film and when we first gave our initial idea out there was some confusion over what our aim and point of the film was. I think as a team we overcame this after much discussion and decided that the aim of the film was what impact the Beatles had as well as the impact they were still having today on Liverpool and the rock and pop culture it helped to create.
In terms of what we have achieved, we have put together a documentary that contains interviews with important people to the subject matter, got good shots of our subject matter, been able to use stock footage, worked hard together during every stage of production. Personally i have contributed at every stage, i helped to develop the ideas and establish what questions would best serve us for maximum usuable footage. Whilst on location I recorded all the sounds and made decisions aboout whether or not we need to re-record and such. i enjoyed doing sound as it was my first ever time in this role. I have learnt a lot both on location and in post production about my role, I feel more confident in using Soundtrack Pro to improve recordings. However i know not to rely on it and to ensure that in future to get the best obtainable recordings at the location instead of relying on post production.
The film does have some flaws, i feel we cold have got a bigger range of shots to accompany our content. Alongside maybe a more developed aspect that could have made our film truly unique. Ithink that with better planning this could have been achieved, I think the deciding of the idea took to long to form and be settled on which hindered our planning time. The quality of some of the sound recordings isnt as high as it could have been. I think we initially planned to rely on more public interviews on the day which was a no go area as we barely got a handful interviews from the public let alone any usuable ones.
how dare you the shots were exquisite ;) xxxxxxxxx
