Preliminary Evaluation

What went well:
  • Firstly, we included all of the required scenes which were the walking to the destination, some close up shots of going through a door and the confrontation with someone else.
  • We kept to the 180 degree rule when filming the conversation as we had some over the shoulder shots and one shot from the front. This was so the conversation flowed well and you knew where the people where at all times.
  • We added in a nice fitting soundtrack playing in the background as i walked along with a comedy aspect when i fell over.
  • Our continuity editing was quite good as we made the clips put together look continuous and it flowed well.
  • Also we broke the 180 degree rule slightly to get different angles when me and Liam were speaking. This was to make the audience clear of the characters surroundings.
Even better if:
  • The preliminary was only 36 seconds long which is very short, so next time we would have to make the clip longer by either having a longer conversation or having to make the journey to the person longer.
  • In one scene when doing an over the shoulder shot you can see the camera stand in the background which is very sloppy and we should have checked each clip more thoroughly to make sure nothing like that happens.
  • We chose a bad time to film as there was a lesson going on in the room next to us, so the background noise was extremely loud  and it was quite hard to hear us, next time we will find a better location.
  • Our match on action was ok but we didn't really get close enough to the door, so next time we can get different angles of the door, get a better close up and make it a bit clearer.
  • When me and Liam were talking, we used shot reverse shot. We didn't do it very well though as the camera was shaky and at one point we could see the tripod in the background of the shot. This was very bad from us and next time we should watch our clips back to make sure it is perfect and try stabilise the camera.
