Preliminary Task Evaluation

The filming was harder than I thought it would be, sticking to the 180 degree rule and making no continuity errors were specifically the hardest parts, especially with the short time allowance we were given to film. I feel the editing went well considering the clips we had to work with- I especially like the cut at the beginning in which it then turns into a panning shot, also another bit of editing i felt worked well was the action match at the end.
The biggest problems our group encountered was planning the filming scenario and the filming itself- because we had such little time we felt rushed into deciding a scenario and not necessarily planning it in detail.
Strengths of the prelim task I feel was the editing in certain parts- including the action match which came out much better than I firstly expected, and some of the cuts which fitted in well together and weren't jumpy, also another strength was that we included all the editing and camera shots that were required of us.
Weaknesses of the prelim task were mainly the poor acting on behalf of my self and Abdi, also the duration of the final piece was not very long- lasting only around 30 seconds which do not allow us to include a lot of different shots.
Next time we will remember to plan a lot more before we start filming so we have a strict plan to stick to and we all know our roles etc... Also we will include a wide variation of shots to maximise our potential of the highest grades.
What we will do differently next time is film more clips to allow the scene to be longer, also ask better actors to film, we will film outside of school to widen our accessibility to better & more realistic locations.
