Year 12 Project Evaluation

Our Production -

Our piece was called ‘Mouse-Trap’ it was based upon the play within in a play in Hamlet within which a mother is in love with her son and does anything possible to remove his girlfriend from their lives. But instead of doing so in an incestuous way, we decided to do it in a jealous and  controlling way. The main girl in our piece was also Mousey, which re-linked the title of our piece to the story line and also foreshadowed what was going to happen to Mousey

Creation and production -

We struggled slightly with the creation progress and initially found it hard to create a concept which didn’t give away to much of the story, once we had finally created the concept we then found it difficult whilst filming to use the best shots, and when editing we found it difficult to put all shots together and make it looks clean cut

What went well, challenges and things we would improve -

We felt that the things that went well were the mystery of the piece and the fact that we didn’t give away to much of the story. We also thought the props and location were perfect for the piece

We felt the challenges we faced were trying to make sure the opening sequence wasn’t more like an advert and didn’t give away to much of the story, but at the same time making sure the audience understood our piece and wanted to continue watching it

The areas we would improve if we were to do it again are re-filming of certain shots as some of them weren’t as perfect as they could have been
