Today, we spent the single period watching the films made by all the different groups in our class. Having seen all the films that our class had created, I really think that I can do a lot better in film. My biggest obstacle is my creativity: for example, looking at Boris' film just made me go "why didn't I think of that when I was filming? why didn't I think of adding a story line in my film to show what I am required to show to make it more interesting?" These questions have really gave me more ideas as to creating larger films in the future. The consideration of different angles, and even playing with the tools on Final Cut Pro can be a solution or an enhancement to the overall atmosphere in the film. I personally think that I can be a better editor and film maker if I can explore my creativity in greater depth.

To do this, I feel that I can look at more films, and different types of films so that i can effectively learn from their techniques of filming. Film reviews may also help in giving me guidelines to an 'excellent film'. This is my plan to become a better director, and editor.
