Main Task- Review

After finishing and publishing our project, we asked a friend to give it a review. We asked a 17 year old girl, which is the age range of our target audience.

Second Draft- Survey Results

Before publishing our final piece, we made a draft. The reason for this was so we could make final improvements in areas of weakness. The results are as follows: 

Overall rating was: 90% of participants gave the piece a 5 out of 5

Sound quality and music usage: 100% 5 out of 5
Credit placement: 90% 5 out of 5

Transition smoothness: 90% 5 out of 5

Would you watch on: 100% yes

Improvements listed:


  • Spelling error
  • Put the ident at the end
  • And the first half has continuity errors (MONIQUE AND LAUREN FEATURE IN IT)

Film- Final Part- Problems that occured

During the course of filming our final part, we came across many problems, that we will need to take into consideration for future filming.

First of all, filming at a bus stop, there were members of the public standing around, and frequently came into the shots. Because of this, we decided to wait a while, and this put filming back by a couple of minutes.

A lot of the POV shots had a lot of background noise, which will need to be taken out during the editing process.

Finally, when the filming took place, it was very bright outside because of the hot weather. For a horror movie, it will have to be made a lot darker, again during the editing process.

Film- Final Part- What did we do?

Having a checklist of things we needed to do, we were able to film relatively quickly before we lost the natural lighting outside, as we did not want to film in the dark.

First of all, Amber used her special effects makeup to create cuts and bruises on herself; and used other makeup to make herself look creepy and old. We then  asked my Dad if we could use his axe.

We then went outside, and filmed Monique and I leaving my house, and walking down the road, towards the bus stop.






 We then had an over the shoulder shot of the bus times on my phone, and then use walking up through the woodland.




We then used the snap of a twig next to the camera, which made us turn round.

Amber then screams from behind the camera, whilst I am doing a POV shot.

Finally, the CCTV shot, and the last POV shot of myself facing Amber, will end the piece.
