Evaluation of 1 minute short film

What could have been improved for this one minute short film?

To start with, I feel as though the equipment that was used to create the short film was causing some problems. The Panasonic camera that I used to film was not the best piece of equipment to use as it was simply not compatible with the Macs that contained the editing software. Therefore for future reference, I will ensure that the equipment I use, including the camera that I film on, is appropriate for my chosen editing software to prevent minor issues like the one I have experienced and save time.
I feel that less issues in the future will prevent loss of time and will be much easier for me to show my innovation to a standard that I am satisfied with. Due to having to re-film I feel as though my short one minute clip was not as high quality as I hoped it would have been, but I am glad I have overcome this minor issue at the start of my Media A2 filming process so that I can continue the rest of the filming with minimal difficulty.

What am I happy with?

I am glad knowing that I can cope with problems that may arise under time pressure, which has given me confidence for my future filming projects, including my short 5 minute film. I am also feeling more optimistic about editing with final cut pro in the near future. I enjoyed choosing appropriate music to go with my footage, deciding what was the right music was a fun experience, because I learnt that music I expect to work does not always work out. I thoroughly enjoyed making a storyboard, it was a positive experience testing all the various scenes that would be entertaining, and although it took time to film and choose the best scenes, it was worth it in the end. All in all despite a few minor technical issues I am happy with my one minute short film and look forward to filming more!
