Tom's Murder Mystery Evaluation

This task required us to come up with a random scene that would be from a TV drama for this preliminary task. We came up with the idea of a murder mystery, inspired from the program Midsummer Murders.

First, we had to pitch the story and what was going to happen in the scene before we headed out and filmed. We collectively came up with unique ideas for the final piece. I was filming and Callum (victim) and Liam (murderer) were acting in it.

What went well:

• We successfully pitched ideas and came up with scene very fast.
• We used varying camera angles and distances in our shots so that it is quite diverse.
• The lighting was used to or advantage as we could see the characters well down this normally dark alley.
• I changed the camera angle up high at 0:55 seconds to make it looks like security camera. I also changed the colour to black and white as security cameras are generally black and white.

Even Better If:

• The scene when Callum was walking along the wall was a bit too long so we could have shortened it.
• If we had more time editing we could have corrected the sound as there was some background noise.
• The camera was at an angle and shaky at times, this looked a bit over the top and we could have used this affect less.
