- Hard to make films with not much money.
- Have to make do with what they have or find.
- Go on ebay and get the things you need cheaper.
- Use actors that fit the part rather than well known actors.
- Using normal rooms/ outside light meaning more social realism.

Evaluation of preliminary
Magazine
1. The magazine follows all the conventions needed.
2. I think it doesn't break any conventions.
3. There are bright colours that stand out on the front cover which would catch the audiences attention.
4. The coverlines make the audience want to read more. They also make the audience want to find out what is happening.
5. I think the magazine appeals to both new and regular readers. I know this because the regulars readers would read the magazine any way and the new readers would want to read the magazine because they would want to find out what is happening in Lutterworth's life.
6. The school distributes the magazine.
7. I have learnt from this how to use photoshop proplerly and making layers for the magazine cover.
Film
1. For our preliminary film we have used the following camera angles, close up, pan, zoom and reverse shot.
2. I think our film is accurate in some parts, for example when the guy in the film walks over to the guy at the desk and then goes to sit down. Some parts of the film were not accurate for example when we did the filming the lighting went slightly wrong. Some of the shots were in light when they were meant to be dark. This was one of our failures.
3. I have learnt that mise en scene is about the props, lighting, costume and movement. In our film I used all these properties.
4. I have learnt that if you use continuity, your film will look tidier.
5. I think I need to work more on my use of the camera because I am not great at doing the shots.
I feel more confident in using the image moving product because I find it more fun and enjoyable.

Preliminary Magazine
For our preliminary magazine we had to do a mock up for a school magazine. It had to include thing such as a Mid shot for the main picture, a title, some straplines and two other pictures along with the other usual magazine conventions.
I think we did quite well but i think we should of done the colours of the school logo.

Evaluation Practice
Magazine:
1. The magazine follows all of the magazines conventions.
2. It does not break any.
3.The colours of the magazine catches the eye of the audience with colours that stand out.
4.The coverlines give the audience a sneak preview of what is going to happen making them want to read more.
5.It would appeal to new and regular readers because people who are new to the sport will want to read about what is going on.
6.Auto-sport disribute the magazine.
7.About producing a magazine front cover i have learnt what has to there and what the magazine needs to look like. I have learnt you are only allowed three pictures and at least three different types of fonts.
Film:
1.The scene is typical of a TV soap because it shows all the things a soap has.
2.The camera angle is High angle.
3.Our recreation was quite accurate.
4.The successes are: we managed to do all of the scene and we managed to film the continuity correctly. The failures are: we did keep smiling a bit during filming.
5.What I have learnt about mise en scene is what you need, for example the props, costumes and movement.
6.The lighting in our project was effective because we managed to get the lighting the same in all the scenes and it was suitable for being inside.
7. I think i still need practice on editing.
I feel more confident in filming because I find it more fun and I find it easier to use.
