Problem solving
Theoretical How to fix
How long the script is In my last units, I write a long
going to be and if it script however when I come to
will be long enough film it the short film would
only be 3 minutes long when I
wanted the film to be 5
minutes.
Research topic Understanding what my topic
was and how much I need to
research
Analysing survey In my last units, I wouldn’t
feedback write much and I would always
write the same thing
storyboarding I would always get bored and
in the last scenes I would draw
easy sketches
YouTube clips for my I would never go into detail
topic or genre analysing the clips and I
wouldn’t know what to search
for YouTube clips
Character profiling I wouldn’t go into detail on
their backstories and why they
are the way they are
New skills for test I never really know what new
shoots skills I could create to add into
my future production
Target audience Researching my target
audience and how to
understand how to get them to
enjoy my productions
Practical How to fix
lighting Finding the right lighting to
use and when to use it
locations I always forget locations and
have to find somewhere to film
Time management I would always leave my
filming and editing to last
Faced Didn’t face
I did face this whilst
writing my script
however I knew adding
music before and after
scenes would help
lengthen my film
I spent a long time
researching and getting
feedback to make it
better and understanding
what I need to do
I was able to
understand the
analysis and wrote a
lot for each question.
I was able to finish all
the scenes well and not
get bored as I draw
them over a few days
I had help from my
teachers and classmates
to understand what I
need to research and
analyse
Was able to think of
everything and
understand their
backstories for each
character
I had help from my
teachers and researched
my genre and how I can
use the different
techniques in movies to
create test shoots
I did many surveys
and researched
different websites
which helped me
Faced Didn’t face
In certain scenes I
needed harsh lighting
and in others only
needed daylight
I was able to know
where I wanted to film
when I was writing my
script
I was able to finish my
filming a week early
 minute and be rushing
camera My camera broke in the past
last units so I had to use my
classmates cameras which was
very annoying
editing I wouldn’t know how to some
skills like masking so would
have to ask my teachers and
look at tutorials on YouTube
and edit within a week
which really helped
I bought a new camera
which helped a lot and
was able to film
everything without
using another camera
I had to ask my teachers
and classmates for some
help however I did most
of my editing my myself
with no help
