        For my ELA response project I chose to film a movie with Sage, Andrew, and Xander included in my group.  For the most part, it went pretty well, there were definitely some things we did better on than others, and some things that needed much improvement looking back on the experience now. For example, I think that the screenplay was very good and the writing of the movie that was contributed by all four members of my group. Also there were bits and pieces during the acting part that really came together, and other instances where it didn't work as well. A way we could improve would be that I think we could have used more focus and tried harder to memorize our lines. Although the acting I felt was a very strong element in our production there were things we didn't do as well on. The biggest mistake we made on set was when we hadn't noticed that the camera was leaning slightly down in one of the scenes resulting in our heads being cropped out of the shot. And the mistake we made was that we trusted our cameraman Ilan’s judgement that the take was good, instead of reviewing it ourselves. Evidently this blooper made it into the final cut, as we had no other choice but to include it because it was our only good take. In conclusion to this project review, I would deem it a success and would definitely think about doing it again. Except next time, I’ll remember to review the all of the shots!
