Chris Prelim Evaluation

The group prelim task for my group turned out very well, and I was very pleased with the final product. Together all team members in the group worked very well together and made it easy as we all had selected individal roles to have which helped us produce a good piece of work. My role within the group was to film the sequence we had designed on the story board and also use my skills to help with the editing. When filming we stuck to the brief we got given, we had to create and use match on action and also use a shot reverse shot within our sequence which we successfully did. Also though out our film we made sure that we did not break the 180 degree rule.We used the shot reverse shot when the student (jamie) was in the teachers office at the end off the film, however as we had already gone over the length of the film it was ment to be by a few seconds we had to cut this scene shorter than we originally planed. We use the match on action when jamie is running through the door to the empty exam hall, this worked very well and looked very professional, as in both parts of the shot matched up with jamies leg going through the door. When editing together we also used parallel editing this worked very effectively and me and the group were very happy that we used this technique.

When watching our film back and in the editing process we saw that the White balance did not look correct in some of our shots, as we didn't have enough time to film again we had to use these shots, in future I believe that it would be best to take lighting sets out with me when filming so I can produce the best work i can. I also added sound onto our movie which was a very mysterious style of music, this helped the audience watching our film become more engaged as it was building up tension and making the audience want to know what was going to happen next.Overall I was ver pleased with the work that we produced as a group and thought it looked very affective.
