POST-PRODUCTION – REFLECTION
21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I used problem solving when I changed the original script, because it wasn’t good enough, and made it vastly superior.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
My group communicated in order to plan out how the film would go, and the specific shots we would make in each scene.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I looked at other thriller films, such as Split, in order to effectively write a proper thriller script.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
I used trends on the internet to weave comedy into the horror/thriller themed script.
Reactions to the Final Version
“I like the comedy undertones, even though the film is a thriller.”- Moira
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
I think our film had emotion, since it could have evoked a feeling of fear into the audience. It was simple, since the motives of the characters and the characters themselves were easy to understand. It told the story of Travis and Scott, and has a proper conclusion to that story. The motive of Scott is unexpected and catches the audience by surprise.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I solved the problem with our old script. It was originally subpar and incoherent. However, I re-wrote it and gave it a story, actual characters and a far more fleshed out plot.
Grammar and Spelling
I used the Edublogs spell checker.
