Evaluation:
My role:
During my Final Major project my role was camera operator as well as everything else. My friend, was the actor and he also edited the sound and some visuals with me.
What went well? :
I feel that the underwater camera shot in the bath was the most successful shot during the production process. Before I did the shot, I prepared practice shots to see if my idea would work and it did. I also think that the editing went quite successful, we managed to edit the film exactly how I pictured it in my head, especially the end scene. I feel the music fitted well with the genre and emotions of the film. I managed to get some quite aesthetic shots towards the end of the film which made it look more emotional. I think the narration will grab the viewers’ attention and help them understand about mental illnesses, given that my film is about depression.

What didn’t go so well? :
Finding a time and place to film when we weren’t busy was one thing that didn’t go so well but also, we had trouble with the sound as you could only hear it through one ear. This problem was easily fixed by duplicating the sound and setting one for the right ear and one for the left.
What could I improve on? :
I think my film could be longer as its only three and a half minutes but it was enough time to get the message across. If I could make it longer I would have added more narration and shown a bit more about the character’s life. During the film, there is a short one second clip that shouldn’t be there which I think I could have looked at the film carefully before deciding it was the final piece. Next time I will thoroughly check the film for any mistakes.
Conclusion:
Overall I feel my Final Major project was a success and I’m happy with the outcome. I feel I managed to make people aware of mental illnesses and the effects it can have on a person. Although the film does not have a good ending, it does say at the end that if people are suffering from depression or a mental illness that they aren’t alone.
