Drafting and planning: First draft: My own thoughts.

The week before half term our class handed in the first draft of our product whether this be a trailer, music video or a regional magazine. This was a chance for our class to see where we were and see where we needed to go.

When handing in my own trailer i was then fully and properly able to see what my trailer looked like.  When watching the trailer back i was able to see various different aspects of the trailer that i knew needed changing or improving. By taking the time to do this i felt that when the time came to getting feedback from our teacher i would be able to see where we both agree and so then i could see if i was on the right tracks which would help me even more if i felt the same as my teacher as to where my trailer should and would go from here.

My own personal thoughts for improvement:

• Because of various aspects such as weather delays and availability my trailer was incomplete. Although only missing 3 scenes overall these scenes are important to the trailer and are obviously important if i want to complete the trailer and of course do good. So it is imperative that before the final hand in i make sure these three scenes are completed which they will be as they already planned. 
• Although when first editing i thought it was okay and at a suitable standard watching it back it became clear that some of the editing in the trailer needed tidying up so that the trailer runs smoothly and effectively to make it seem more professional and tidy. 
• Perhaps depending on what my teacher says the first shot (the establishing shot) could be redone as when i looked back it was a little shaky and so probably could be better done. 

My trailer however did have some positives, i had recored the start most parts of the middle and an end giving it a narrative that could still be followed even though it was not completely finished. Another thing i believe my trailer excelled well in was the sound part and i think this really helped my trailer come across as more effective. 

However i will not know what i actually need to do until i speak to my teacher next lesson and then when i get this feedback i will be able to go and improve my trailer based on what my teacher thinks.
