Preliminary Excersize - My evaluation

Planning


Over all the planning went well however there were a few things that we should have done differently:

  • Included more shots to buiold up tension - I thought that the story board should have been slightly longer than it was
  • As there were only two group members in on this day and we failed to find voulenteers to be in the pictures, we weren't able to take the photos ourselves and that is why they are not taken by a media student which means they lacked accuracy from a media perspective
  • between the first two shots a filler shot is needed :
  • pictures to animation
    pictures to animation
     
  • The shot - reverse shot needs to be taken from the same position each time to follow the 180 degree rule
  • make a gif picture
    make a gif picture
    This process has helped me to understand the 180 degree rule and I applied the skills learned from this exercise when filming



Filming


Filming went well - all shots were taken correctly and in the right order (we used the 180 degree rule correctlty this time) but...

  • Initially we thought the location we filmed in (the canteen in college) would work better than the one we used for the storyboard (which we realised didn't have enough room to film in) BUT there was too many distractions in the background and it didn't exactly look like an office
  • Shot - reverse shot could have included a few more shots to build tension
  • The noise in the background from the canteen caused the dialogue to be distorted


Editing

After reviewing the editing of the prelim I have come to the conclusion that it could have been edited to a much better standard. Finally only one of us contributed to the editing of the prelim and it could have been done to a much better standard if we all worked together. We should have experimented with different transitons e.g fade, dissolve, fast paced and rough cuts etc. The titles were poorly placed on the screen which effected the viewing quality and although we did follow a conventional title sequence, three names were repeated for a number of roles when we should have made up different names to make it seen more realistic.
