My 2 Week Short Film Project

I had two weeks to make a short film and present it to my teacher. I worked in a group of four and we all decided that we would base the short film on 'A day in the life of a sixth former'. During the two weeks, we filmed footage and edited the film on Final Cut Pro. This allowed us to explore lots of different effects to add on to the short film or change it in places by cutting some of the shots out or speeding and slowing down the film to enhance viewing performance.

I think that when filming the short film we had excellence controlled use of the camera and used a variety of shots and framing that really worked well to make the short film interesting. The editing skills we used were effective and striking to our target audience which we narrowed down to 13-18. We chose this age group as we came to the conclusion that as our short film was about 'A Day in the Life of a Sixth Former' it would potentially only appeal to a younger teenage age group.
