At the beginning we found the planning quite hard for our children's film. I think the main reason for this was being able to think of an idea. We brainstormed our ideas as a group but many seemed unable to fit the criteria of a children's film and some seemed impossible to produce. But once we had our idea, things got a lot easier and clearer of what we were going to do. Our storyboarding was very helpful to give us a clear idea of how we were going to go about producing it, with the different cinematography techniques. Our research of children's films also helped with our planning and production and different parts from different films inspired our final idea. The production of our opening was quite easy as we followed our storyboard and had a clear image in our heads of what we wanted to produce.
However it was hard to think of enough clips to film as the point of our opening is quick hints of the character, so it was hard to film enough to fit the 2minute criteria. We will try to overcome this by repeating some of the clips without it looking repetitive and maybe making the clips and using a variety of speed to the clips instead of them all being fast. We also have a feeling, when editing that the sequence may look quite jumpy. Although this is the initial effect we want, it may be too jumpy for a children's audience. We will try to overcome this by again varying the speed of some clips and also using the credits to split up a few of the clips also.

After half term we hope to continue with our editing, create our credits and our soundtrack. Our main priority is to do these tasks well and to fit them together and for it to run smoothly. Our plan is to split up these tasks so two of us will have our main priority of editing the film and the others main priority will be to design the credits. This way it will save time and be easier to get on with as with 4 of us working on the same task is stressful and some people end up not contributing as much. So hopefully this way we can bring all our tasks together and create our final production to create a successful children's film opening.
