A Message From The Team

Working on this final project together has been fantastic, granted it has had its ups and downs and we have had some arguments but as the weeks turned into months and the deadline became hauntingly close we really pulled it together. I have enjoyed working hard on the blog as well as all the other aspects of the final product although I was unable to be on set as much as I would of liked to be I still felt as if I had an input. My main role was research as well as shooting all forms of diary and interviewing the team. As you can see below I did this whilst embracing new media technology. I used all my resources to document as much as possible of the film making process. We worked extremely hard on this project and hope you enjoy it. - Harvey

The film Limbo was a great experience that I enjoyed thoroughly throughout. I love working on this film as it allowed me to improve on my cinematography and editing skills which have vastly improved from last years film Deceit. The team worked well most of the time, however I think we could have worked a bit better as a team. Sometimes other members of the group wouldn't show up to the filming which was a bit frustrating but nothing to serious. I believe we worked extremely well as a team and since Anthony and I were both directing we each got to experiment with our own styles of filming and added new elements to the film which wouldn't be present if only one person was directing. Overall, I was extremely proud of the film and the team and I personally think we did an amazing job. - Jack

Creating the film Limbo was an extremely fun experience. As a group I feel we bonded well and were able to use our initial friendship as an advantage over the weeks we filmed. A stand out moment for me was being able to express everything I learned in GCSE Drama to help make our film that little bit more special. I also enjoyed being able to try my hand at editing this year, which was a big difference to last years film. Jack was able to show me many techniques as we worked closely together throughout editing and also directing the film itself.
Despite being off track occasionally, we were able to come together as a group and produce a film we are all extremely pleased with. We were constantly communicating, ensure we knew everything that was to be done in the weeks to come in the future, and thankfully, it all came together in the end, like we wanted. It was nice to do this final project with friends before we set off to do our own individual things in the future. - Anthony
