Evaluation of Preliminary Project

Things in which our group did well in our preliminary project where; we followed the main objectives in the task, to carry out shot reverse shot, match on action and to follow the 180 degree rule. Another feature of the project that was well thought out was the location, as it was a well lit area and was also undisturbed, no back ground noise from people or urban sounds i.e. traffic. Another part of th e production which we did well was the easily followed storyline, getting to the point.

Things in which our group could improve on and take in to future tasks would be the quality of editing so it enables the production to flow better and more pleasing for the viewers eyes; what would come under this aspect would be to make cuts between shots cleaner, make sure that sound flows not breaking at any point so the viewers are faced with a muted clip. Other points which could be improved on would be or that would be considered in future productions would be to do a varied amount of angled shots not just from one fixed angle, this way during the editing stage we as a group would have more shots to work with to make the clip as visually interesting as possible. What I have also learnt from this preliminary project is the idea of time management as it is important to make sure things are all done by a certain time, in future i would look to do all the camera in one days work this would free up more time in editing and also would not have to make sure the mise en scene is identical to the first shooting, things such as clothing, weather and objects in the background of shots are all important factors.
