Production Concept: Summary of Unit

At the start of the unit, we just had the idea that we wanted to create a monster movie for the SyFy Network and there wasn't much more than that at the time. It is great to see that how far we have come with the project and see everything come together.

Some of the things which could be improved are the time management of the entire project, because of poor timing, we were unable to get as many drafts of the script done as we would like, this meant that the book was delayed for print more than we wanted as we had to change the synopsis and the character profiles to coincide with the script.
Another negative which we had was the issue with collaborators, although some worked with us perfectly to create costume designs and the titles, our biggest issue was the creation of the monster. All of the collaborators who we did have lined up dropped out on us, leaving us with no one to design anything. This meant we had to hire someone to do this, which cost us quite a bit of money.

Regardless of these negatives, there are huge positive that come with it. Although we had to pay someone to design the monster for us, the designs look fantastic and extremely professional, which we are happy with. This is the first time me or Sam have written such a large script and although we had trouble along the way, if feels like a great accomplishment to have written something of this size, which is another thing we are happy with. And Finally we are glad to see how the project all turned out, the whole package in general looks great and to a professional standard in my opinion and some of the things we have created look great.

So in conclusion of this task, I've had an amazing time creating everything in the package, from the poster to the script and everything else, I have learnt a lot from doing this unit and it is amazing how far it's come along in these last few months. From a small idea about a monster to a chest full of great production material. Myself and the rest of the group are pretty proud of our small creation!
