Comparing with AS

In this task I have conducted a lot more research into the project than I did in AS. My AS level blog research was in detail but I could have completed alot more research that would have helped us in creating a more realstic romantic comedy opening scene. In this task I have gone into a lot of depth into my analysis of music videos based around our chosen genre of music. I have also been very up to date with my planning always blogging about changes in our footage and explaining difficulties we have had to overcome whilst filming. However even though I did do this for our AS level project I did not continuiously keep it up throughout the whole project. For our last project we filmed the footage in one of our group members houses. Choosing this location was something that did not really need lots of planning we did not have to consider many of the implications of filming as it was an easy and simple setting. Whilst choosing our location at South Shields beach for our most recent project it consisted of us doing vast amounts of planning for the trips to the beach. We had to consider the implications of weather and keep track of it leading up to the days of filming. We had to do location scouts of different areas of the location that would fit and look best for our filming. Choosing this location was very ambitious compared to our AS Level we had to plan our trips to the beah in vast amounts of detail. Thinking of ways that we could overcome certain implications we could have faced from using this location. During this project I have recognised how having detailed research and planning everything to the last detail is very effective and extremly useful for filming.
