Preliminary Task Evaluation

The filming of this whole scene was very interesting due to the suspense we left at the end of it, because its a crime/thriller genre which is a mainstream genre I can say we did very well on the camera angles used and how we positioned ourselves as characters. What I think we found difficult about the production of this whole scene was finding a place to film it because it took a while before we found a place to film the whole scene because we wanted a place that looked more like an office instead of a classroom. However, as whole I think we did not too bad. One thing we could improve on for next time is to use a wider range of camera angles and keep the same room throughout the whole of the scene.

We have also used shot-reverse-shot in our short film when the characters are exchanging dialogue. It means that the audience are able to see the character deliver their lines and then almost immediately afterwards can see the opposing actors reaction. I think we demonstrated a well piece of continuity because we made sure that all shots were in order and each one flowed well to the next. All of the shots we used reflect continuity as we included shots like the point of view shot and over the shoulder shots that give the audience an idea of space and how the scene is composed.

We have also used shot-reverse-shot in our short film when the characters are exchanging dialogue. It means that the audience are able to see the character deliver their lines and then almost immediately afterwards can see the opposing actors reaction. we also used various editing techniques such as the 180 degree rule, match on action and shot reverse shot are often used as they help to enhance the narrative of the story and allow the viewer to follow the story line.

I think our group worked really well together due to reason that everyone was active playing their part to bring this whole piece of art together I have not only learnt how technology affects the production of a film but I have also learnt that how the person uses the technology has a great impact on a film as well. Our film planning was satisfactory due to the fact that we didn't analyse where exactly we were going to film it. If we as a group ever had the chance to film this piece again we will improve on using more editing skills instead of the main ones I have discussed above.
