The following links are to channel for Film Riot. The creators behind this web-based show bring techniques and software tutorials to aspiring film-makers. I have include these in my research as film now uses many CGI effects to aide the craft of storytelling for modern day film makers and movie directors. It is now possible to create almost any environment, scene or situation using effects.

If I were to create a live action film for my final product I would consider using some of these effects used above to create dramatic effect. The concerns I have, which are from previous experiences, is primarily for the production is ensuring the cast and crew are capable and/or dedicated to the project. The more people involved causes problems in terms of ensuring that people are the right place at the right time, and especially for the actors, that they have learned their lines.

Although I understand that this is the producers job, some of the responsibility must fall onto the individual and therefore any individual needs to be trusted to ensure their role, whether cast or crew, is able and willing to carry out their task to the fullest.

Because of the time scale, previous experience of working with people, and mainly to the fact that I want to develop other skills in other form of media production I have decided that I will not be pursuing a live action film as my final product.
