Evaluation of Preliminary task

Good points:

1. In our preliminary task video we used a variety of different shot types. At the beginning of our video we had a match cut to show the passage of time as ‘Character A’ gets to the top of the stairs, to make it more interesting.

2. We then used a high angle shot as ‘Character A’ walks through the corridor. This is useful because it’s a variety of shots to keep the video more interesting again. Plus this shot shows the slight surroundings.

3. We also used a close up of ‘Character A’ opening the door; there was a close up of his hand on the handle. We used this shot to show the audience that a different scene is about to occur.

4. A close up to an eye line match from ‘Character A’ to ‘Character B’ to show the audience what ‘Character A’ is looking at.

5. We then used a shot reverse shot of both characters to show the audience their conversation from different points.

6. We kept by the 180° degrees rule, by keeping ‘Character B’ on the left and ‘Character A’ on the right.

Bad points:

1. We noticed that throughout the video our camera showed to be blurry when the scenes were filmed.

2. A change of costume from ‘Character A’ might have distracted the audience.

3. The final panning shot was hand held and very shaky.
