PRELIMINARY PROJECTEVALUATION

WHAT I HAVE LEARNT…

• Through doing this task, I believe that I have learnt a couple of things.

• Firstly, I think that I have learnt how to control and use a camera when it is on a tripod, especially in the strict timeframe we were given to complete the task in and the fact that I have had no previous experience with using video cameras and tripods before.

• Secondly I have learnt how to implement good transitions into video pieces, as you can see in the final video.

• Finally, I believe that I have learnt how to storyboard a video piece very well, including all the necessary information needed to go out and film what is shown

on the storyboard.

•One of the main areas of success was that we presented a range of shots. Some of which are

displayed in the pictures, our brief involved a high angle shot and a close up as well as including the

shots we needed to meet our brief: match on action, 180 degree rule and shot reverse shot.

•Another area in which we were successful was actually meeting the brief.

•We were furthermore successful during editing, we were able to add a title, adjust the brightness,

cutting parts out and also in rendering and exporting the final video.

AREAS OF SUCCESS…

•A main area of improvement was that we did not meet the time limit, the brief asked for the preliminary piece to be a minute long, and unfortunately we did not meet this as our piece was

only 48 seconds long. In future I believe that we should take time limits and minimums into consideration when planning our pieces.

•Another improvement to consider is to add transitions so that the film runs smoother and makes it look more continuous.

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT…

• I believe that we satisfied the brief.

• The first way in which we did this was that the brief asked that we displayed a character opening a door, crossing a room and sitting down in a chair opposite another character of which we completed. This is shown in the image.

• Secondly we showed two characters sharing a few lines of dialogue.

• We also met the shots that the brief asked us to include this consisted of:Match on action, 180 degree rule and shot/reverse shot.

HOW WELL YOU MET THE BRIEF…
