Feedback from our 'Package' task:

• One of the main problems that occured during our short film was the editing. the part when Charlie was running towards the camera was especially difficult because it was too long.
• As a solution we were told to cut a few parts of the shot out and have Charlie jumping from one place to another instead of a continuous run. (continuity editing)
• Another problem we encountered was mixing the sound to work in conjunction with the music. The scene was a bit off because the change in muisc didn't quite start at the right time, which after a lot of work was rectified to work well with the visuals.
• I think another problem with the lift scene was getting the muisc to suddenly bounce back into action when leaving the lift but not before i had left the lift itself. This was tricky becuase we had to play around with the soundtrack in order to get it to work.
• We also learnt that a filmaker rarely fades from the opening credits into the scene as a director usually always fades when he wants the last scene to be remembered. This was interesting to learn as it was something in which i have never noticed before and am now very aware off.
• Despite the fact that we made quite a few errors in our piece, it was not all bad and some of the filming and editing we did turned out to be quite successful.
• There was some good lighting in our film and most notably in the final scene where Joe is opening the package. The music in this shot was also very successful and we managed to time it with the visuals very well, which was pleasing.
