- Whilst making our short possession practice film our main aim was to practice and improve on our editing skills, make up, props and camera shots/angles. In general there were no major problems that we encountered whilst filming, however the lighting and acting could have been improved.
- The actor was Charlie's younger brother who was very poor in front of the camera due to his lack of experience and young age making him immature and very hard to work with, which slowed productivity greatly.
- As part of our make-up use we poured talcum powder on the actor's face and head to make him look more horrifying, enforcing the genre as horror. It worked well because the colour (white) gave a ghostly/spiritual effect, adding to the possession aspect of the genre. We thought that the make-up use worked well in the video and it made no problems as its cheap and easy to use.
- An area for improvement would be the camera usage because there were very limited number of shots and editing techniques used. We mainly see low angle shots, of the character in a robe and climbing up the stairs, meaning that we need to improve on variation of shots. The editing skills will also need to be improved as there wasn't a large range of editing techniques. We see one cross over from the stairs to the character in the doorway and a range of filters and fades. This tells us that editing is one of our weaker areas that needs to be worked on.
- Although lighting was a problem it can easily be solved by changing the setting and seeing how a range of settings compare to find which location is best.
