Construction Post 10: Looking Back- Reflections On Our Final Outcome

Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome of this project. Our film opening looks very similar to one I originally envisioned and I am impressed by how we turned a small initial idea into an effective opening.

I believe that we have stayed true to our chosen genres and the idea of creating a British Indie film. I think that the locations I found within Bowyer's Water such as the fishing swim that we used in the film opening look very good and I am glad that we could capture what they really looked like on camera.

I hope that an audience member would understand the character of Craig and like him because of his social awkwardness but also for him gaining the courage to stand up for another person. Members of our target audience commented to me how Craig wasn't a stereotypical gay character which I was really pleased about. I enjoyed seeing our project grow and develop over the weeks and months and it was interesting for me to see how everything that we created such as props and set list really did help in shooting. I now appreciate the importance of all the pre-production planning and the importance of having a test shoot.

If we had more time I would like to have developed the bullying sequence further but overall I have found this experience to be very valuable and enjoyable.
