Strengths
camera
In the video i believed that we use a lot of camera techniques, which helped us denote situation for example in the video we see Garth at 1:41 go under the table because he was scared as Wayne got fired, we use a mid shot and then pan's towards downwards as Garth fell down which connotes that his scared.
Another strength for the camera was that the camera quality was clear and we understood what was going to happen, for example in the video at 0.02 we see Wayne and Garth singing intro song which was had very clear quality footage.
mise en scene
mise en scene helped us create the scene, we thought that costume was the most important factor because it was the appearance that actually added the humor, for example at 1.24 we see a male character play a female role by putting a wig on and he also had stuffed foil on his chest to make look like boobs and i believe it added a lot of humor to the video.
Another important mise en scene factor was the props, because we used a lot of props and i think the props created humor for example at 1.20 we see Wayne gets a headache then Garth gives skittles i
nstead of paracetamol, this makes the audience laugh as skittles are sweets.

Sound
The sound is a important factor because without the sound being clear audience would not understand for example at 0.03 we hear Wayne and Garth sing the intro the sound was sung by Frias and Ben who were the main character. the sound is very clear you can hear them singing 'Wayne's world Wayne's world'.
Another strength for the sound from the swede was the car scene at 21 seconds we see Wayne,Garth and the camera group singing 'bohemian rhapsody' , this is a strength as it is a reference to the film and the audio was very clear.
Improve weaknesses
camera
We had a lot of camera issue for example we could found out during post production that some of the footage was cut off to early, this meant that the video would be jumpy as the scenes always stop after they action straight for example 1.16 we see the scenes cut and go to another scene very quick, we would improve this by making sure next time to record scene's for longer.
Another weakness was that we the camera quality overall is not that clear this may be because we use a camera which the quality wasn't great, for example at 1.23 the camera quality was not that clear, if we did this again we would try to use another camera.
mise en scene
I thought one of our weakness was the lighting as the lighting at was not that great because at this scene we see Garth attack the big guy i thought if we use more light it more clear, however the room did not have that much light,in the future i would be doing in a room which has more lighting. lighting make a huge difference.
Another weakness was the locations we used, we basically just used one room as time was against us and we had a deadline which we had to meet. using one room meant all the scene's where located in the class room, for example in the video at 56 seconds we see computers all around but in the actual scene it was meant to be in a restaurant, i would improve this by maybe next time shooting it in a room which suits the location, however it was meant to be a imitation so overall we were successful.
Sound
One of the weakness for the sound was that at the beginning of the Swede we have the intro paper we hear the movement sound which was meant to be removed as we don't want t here the movements, in the future i will be listening to the audio very carefully.
Another weakness was that some audio was cut out, which meant that at 57 seconds of the video when Benjamin tells them that his going to tear the cheque up they say 'no' but then it cut out so they do not finish the sentence, in the future i will we will be looking closely to the audio so that these mistakes do not occur again.
Pre-production skills
Pre-production i what we planned before actually recording footage for example this was the shooting script, location list, cast list,crew list and recording schedule.
Shooting script helped us a lot as we did not have to think when we were actually recording the footage as we already know what we were going to be doing, this made the process a lot quicker and i believe this is a important factor.
Recording schedule was the most important factor for our group as we know all the times that we would be able to record the swede and we know where as well because we were able to ask the teachers if the room was available the day we were going to record.
Logistical/production management skills
I think the management of our group was very successful because everyone was on time and we always communicated with each other by text as we had each others numbers, which helped us keep in contact if there was any problems we would have rescheduled and then let all the group members know.
When we went and recorded the footage our group was well organised as everyone know what to do , and we also made sure all the group members were doing something as we had to meet deadline and we were successful as well because all the members had responsibilities for example some where in charge of keeping equipment's and some had to get props or keep the memory card safe, by giving everyone responsibilities lead to our group being successful.
mise en scene skills
Using one of the mise en scene factors which is costume it made it more realistic for example made the actors where wigs which made a good imitation of the actual characters from the film, so i believe that costume is a big factor.
Another important factor from the mise en scene was props as it denotes the situation for example at 54 seconds of the video we see Wayne and Garth in the restaurant, then we see food on table this denotes that its in the restaurant. mise en scene made the scene more clear.
Overall the swede of Wayne's World was successful as it does imitate the film as we have put the main scene's together, the swede contains the most important parts and has lot of humor. i also believe that we have carefully selected the most appropriate characters.
