SWOT Analysis

Strengths

• The project has already started. We can have it as an example
• Work with a good partner, who is a professional film maker
• Awen offers a lot of information to us that covers our project
• Get a chance to understand Cornwall's local society
• Increase our knowledge in history and culture

I've been done some of the research for Barbara Santi, who is a professional film maker and have been made many documentary films already. She can be a helpful person for our work. The project has already started. I could found lots of information when I do the research. Barbara brought in lots of the material. So I've got plenty of the footage to pick up. Some of the Cornwall history I never hear before, because this project I know more than before. For example What was it happened about the Penlee lifeboat. How the lifeboat works...balabala

Weaknesses

• Time consuming
• Capturing and editing footage
• Relying on a busy partner

I've rushed on time, I didn't manage the time very well.  Not very good at using the editing equipments. Spend more time to learn how to get the effect I want. The information always comes from our client. I've never try to ask for something, just like to wait for.

Opportunities

• Possible work experience
• Possible entry to university
• Career possibility if someone spots it
• The product could get entered into Cornwall Film Festival
• Work with a local film maker
• Begin to be professional in making film

For this project I've got lots of chance to get involve with a good partner, and get my work to show to public. To get more audience feedback. It will be very helpful for after applying UCAS. It looks good at the CV.

Threats

• The archive footage arrives late
• Deadline of the project
• Legal issues i.e. people being filmed in public
• Copyright issues

Didn't realise the footage came very late.  When the footage comes, I only got a month left to finish my work. Everything start be rush. The biggest threat is the copyright issues. I pick up a good song but not allow to use in my film. It sounds very gloomy. i tried to recreate the song, then add some solo bit, but the answer still the same. My client Barbara says, it has covered by copyright...
