MY ROLE WITHIN “IN HIS EYES”- AROOJ AFTAB

MY ROLE Throughout the process of our film making, each person in my

group had their own ideas and inputs when coming up with ideas, from the start of the production task, each person naturally had an idea of what their role in the group would be, this was based on each persons interests, availability and what their strongest point were.

My main role lied in the more creative section, this included the production of film posters/advertisement, story boards, character styling and makeup, and general research, I had to make sure that the characters fitted their role in the way they were presented, I researched before styling to see what different age groups wore and whether or not this suited the characters, this is seen in my ‘outfit deconstruction’ research.

Every time I carried out a task, the members in my group were fully aware of what I was doing, they gave back suggestions and offered constructive criticism when they thought something should be changed, this I found very helpful as it led me into the right direction, this was also successful when we were filming as a group, each person had a chance to film a equal amount in this process.

RESEARCH AND PLANNING we all carried out our own research on dementia and its

effects, this is we wanted to gather as must information and gain as much knowledge from each other when reforming as a group and passing on information, we did this most of our research work in order to achieve the best understanding. Planning

Shot Lists - We recreated the shots in our film before filming, this was so we were organised and had a clear understanding of what our film was going to look like, this was helpful as each individual knew how to set up the cameras for each shot, by this we all had an involvement in filming

on Photoshop. Planning and completing the film poster

on Photoshop Styling of the individual characters General research in to audience via social

media, taking second opinion and giving critical feedback on how to improve editing. This played a vital role towards our final product

OVERALL By having many different tasks in the development of our

film making, as a group I feel that we all worked very well together and stayed consistent throughout the production work.

Through different methods I feel like I have gained important skills within research, planning, filming and producing. Particularly In gaining knowledge about Dementia and its effects.

I learnt the different ways on how dementia can effect a day to day not of a sufferer and how it also has an impact on the family, I learnt how hard it can really be. In the future I would love to work and do more charity work with real life issues that address these problems.

Overall I think that myself and my group overcame barriers and continued to work hard in order to achieve a final product. As a whole I can positively say that I am very happy with the end product and the positive feedback we received.
