Evaluation of task (comment on use of planning, use of camera, use of iMovie and working as part of a group. Include 2 areas for improvement, which you work on during the main task.)

When making the prelim my group worked well together to plan what we were going to film, where we were going to film it and who was going to do the different parts of creating it. We used certain shots to add a pan to the work, and used Final Cut to edit it. Final Cut was simple to use as I had used it before. We could have improved the plotline of the film and spent more time editing it.
