Second Draft



(55) Year 13 Second Draft - YouTube


This is my second draft of my Year 13 main coursework. There is a lot of improvement if comparing to the first draft but there are still some moments which could be better. For example, I need to solve the sound problem because it's not always heard what characters say. So by the time the final draft is released, I'll make sure that the volume is high enough to hear the protagonists' voices. Another key thing is to get rid of titles that appear at the end of the film. I just thought that it would be appropriate to give credits to everyone who participated in my filmmaking process but the teacher said that after the end of film it has to be only the title ''The End'' and that's all. Which means that if I do this, my coursework will last 4:20 minutes which is less than 5. In order to solve that problem, I will add the additional establishing shots.

Average Short Film Budget

  Considering that the short film is obviously shorter than feature-length, the less locations take place, the less amount of actors involved, the production itself takes not so much time, so as a result the budget of these films will be way, way lower. Because my film is the Year 13 advanced portfolio, I am not going to have a budget and no one is going to be paid for production. However, while doing the filmmaking, we use the expensive equipment which is the digital camera, camera stand, microphone, sound recording. We're not paying for it for my film but that's what the team usually does when they make a professional movie. Of course with the rise of Internet everyone is able to create a unique project which doesn't have to cost money. Basically, everyone is able to film a short movie even on his or her phone. But I was talking about the film in which a large team is involved, something which is the work not only of one person (director/screenwriter) but also of everyone...

Evaluation of My Preliminary Task 2023

During this weekend I have filmed the short extract which will then be developed into a big short film which I'll release in the end. Though in my opinion, for preliminary task the job was done pretty well, I still think that there are some aspects to improve. The first thing to which I payed attention to is the wind noise which interferes the audiences to immerse into the film. It happened because though I was given a mic, I found it useless because my extract didn't have any dialogues so as I thought, there was no point in regulating the sound, I was mistaken. When I start making my main task, I'll definitely use the mic in order to prevent such situations. Another thing which needs an improvement is the moment in extract when the protagonist sees the group of boys walking and then smiles. The thing is that in my script they had to be just one girl with whom male protagonist falls in love. In addition there had to be the close ups so the audiences would know what's so...
