Preliminary Evaluation

Preliminary Task Evaluation

The preliminary task we did had a lot of parts where we had improved from our last attempt at filming a sequence, such as our sound test. But there are also some parts on it that we could improve on in our next piece of filming. For example, not all of our camera angles were as useful as we could've made them and there were a few adjustments we could have made.
The rolling shot we did at one point of the video did not go as smoothly as planned. Also, in the outtakes at the end you can see that we had a few troubles doing it to begin with as the rod on the tripod didn't move the camera correctly. We also had a bit of trouble with the diagetic sound as the boom seemed to pick up more diagetic noise than we thought. So we had to put the non diagetic music in there except we turned it up louder. Timing was an issue as well, as there were some times where some members of my group didn't walk into the scene on time or spoke too soon or too late.

However there were some points where we did quite well in the process of filming. We managed to do a lot of editing at the beginning, after we filmed Michal at different angles waiting in the classroom. The cross dissolve effect made him look like he had been waiting for a long time, and also the music in the background helped make the scene look dragged out, so when Sam ran in, it looked genuine. It was interesting to film and I feel that it made a huge difference because it showed us our strong and weak areas and also how we could improve in the future, or when we film our thriller opening, for example.
