Evaluation task
For
our preliminary task, we had to film and edit a person opening a
door, walking across the room and conversing with another person. It
also needed to contain match on action, a shot reverse shot and the
180 degree rule.
Our task feedback
WWW:-
We
stuck to the brief, and our shots and the 180 degree rule were
delivered well. Vijay filmed Mariam and I very well and stuck to the
180 degree rule whilst others failed. We used the story board to help
us know what shots and what how we wanted preform the shots, it also
added a fluency to are filming causing us to do the majority if our
filming in a double lesson, whether that was right or wrong, it was
done.
EBI:-
Our
transition lacked fluency and any real emphasis, as the transition
made it look like it was a very long conversation that lasted hours
or even days! Also, our planning was good, but we didn't utilise it
to the best of ability causing a lot of spontaneous actions and
moves. Looking back on our film in class showed me that some of the
shots were out of focus which made our film look quite amateur. The
camera movement also portrayed that. Also next time in my pre-production task we need to delegate role as there was a little bit of
confusion in who needed to do what and when they needed to do it.
Our
film starts off with me walking towards the door and a close up of my
shoes there was then match on action which was an extreme close up of
my hand on the door opening it. I then was filmed walking towards
Mariam with the camera behind me, which made it an over the shoulder
shot. There was then an over the shoulder shot from Mariam's shoulder
looking at me, this automatically showed the audience that we knew
each other and we may be conversing. We hen started conversing and
with the 180 degree rule, on paper, everything should have went to
plan, but practically, it didn't because of the transitions in our
conversation.
Once
the conversation was terminated, Mariam was then filmed leaving the
room and moving further and further away from the camera which
implied that the scene had ended. The editing was quite long as we
were cutting a lot of unnecessary shots and scene.
I
believe the audience targeted for this production was youth, hence
the setting being in a school also the surrounding noise conveyed
that.
Overall,
I believe our production was good, but it just needed a little more
thought going into the filming and editing and a bit more
organisation but on the whole it was a good experience and filming
and editing was a joy to do and will help me in many more task to
come. Also the feedback I got will cause me to take heed on it and
try to improve on further task.
